Time to burn off your turkey dinner

Christina Lake up in Ashby Mn has clean ice for this weekend for some scouting and scrub races. Sat-Sun looks like the biggest group, based on wind forecasts.
I have our good friend Mike Risbrodt up in Ashby drilling a couple if holes for thickness and sending photos on Wed PM.
Time to sharpen runners and get sailing before any snow arrives!
