A few brave Tonka sailors ventured out to Lake Waconia today to sail in artic cold conditions. The highest temperature anyone saw on the various car thermometers was 3 degrees. Fortunately, relatively moderate winds put the wind chill at a manageable(?!!!) 10 degrees below zero.

It was way too cold to set up marks so tip-ups and ice houses defined the course. As seems the case lately, the Doctor ruled the day followed closely by Pat Huttner and Mike bloom. And, had J.D. ever left the confines of his heated truck those in attendance suspect he too would have shared time at the front.
