According to my Wife I got out iceboating for the 50Th time yesterday.Another great outing at Silver Harbor.

Lake Minnetonka Water Patrol declared the ice out on April 14, 2011. More specifically, the Freshwater Society declared the ice out at 5:14 am.

Thanks to Kurt and Bruce for driving up from MN to join the fun,

Hello All-

We are selling the prototypes that we made during the development of our T-Hound fittings.

These are not quite as pretty and not quite as wide as the final product but will work very well on a DN or slightly larger boat. Three are available; One is 2 1/2″ wide and the others are 3 1/2″ wide. They incorporate a T-Ball fitting to use with a CSI/Jeff Kent style rig.

Price is $110 each. Includes shipping and shackles.

Call or email for more information and pictures. Contact info is below.

Think Ice!! Get ready! Fall is right around the corner!

I expect the warm temps and light rain forecast for tomorrow will remove all the snow from our local lakes, leaving the ice clear, resurfaced, thick, substantially untouched by the sunlight, in other words perfect spring ice.

That said, the earlier melts, plus what we're going to see over the next three days will no doubt raise the water levels beyond their current level, causing water around the shorelines, some ramps might be needed for dry foot access.

50 degrees on Saturday? Calhoun? See the sights? Maybe grill some food on the ice? a picnic for sure.

Anyone interested in sailing in Thunder Bay is welcome to join me.See my Blog for some fotos.There is miles and miles of ice,weather forcast is great.Phone (807) 577 2109 for more details.

It is with great regret we must cancel the running of the 2011 Johnson Cup. Mark "The IceMaker" Kiefer said, "Oh Snap, IceBoating's an Outdoor Sport, even with a much more robust set of options that short track racing allows, some-day's it just isn't to be, it took 46 years to pull off the first one, we've been lucky so far."

Look for the 2011-2012 WIRC Calendar of events in coming weeks...

Short Course Racing's still IceBoating...

Conditions at Primary Site Buffalo Lake are questionable, a more thorough inspection is ongoing.

Ice reporters are currently walking the Ice on White Bear Lake, for this now epic and international 3rd Johnson Cup. MikeM from Thunder Bay is here and chomping to go racing.

The ice on Sturgeon Lake, site of the 2010 Great Western Challenge is reported to be most excellent.

Ice reports are encouraged.

It's already epic.
