We made brief call to the City Restaurant in Ashby, at lunch time today, to confirm the lake had indeed fully frozen, last week as we suspected.

What a hoot, it the town of the Coot... the gal answering the phone said, "I don't think so, but wait, let me ask... Hey Guys! Those iceboaters want to know if Christina's frozen?... Audibly over the phone "Hell Yes!!!" was heard in perhaps 6 part harmony... and she gets back on the phone and said "Oh Hell Yes, It's Frozen!"

Ice Checking/Sailing will begin on Friday

It's gonna be great!

At this moment, the primary site for The Western Challenge Regatta is Lake Christina, Ashby, MN.

Details, including launch site, lodging, etc. will be posted after the offical decision 7:00 Local Time, Sunday 27 November.

It's my understanding a number of sailors will be sailing Lake Christina this weekend, November 25, 26 & 27. checking the ice, and reporting conditions for suitability. If you're planning on joining in the ice checking fun, please let me know by email.

that would be mark(at)onemorebid.com

It's gonna be great.

We'll continue monitoring local conditions as forecast freezing conditions over the next two weeks are favorable for choices developing in sailing venue for the Western Challenge Regatta.

EBay has everything a guy would ever need!!!

I have a video I would like to post. How do I do that?

Does anyone know!

Fergus Falls, MN Forecast indicates we'll start making ice in about a week.

Starting next Tuesday 11/15/2005 we're expecting low temperatures in the low 20's dropping into the teens over the next week.

I'm planning on Sailing on Christina's Ice beginning on Friday Nov. 25th.

A fellow ice boater in Montana just reported another sighting of the culprit lurking by that beat-up old Skeeter with a new paint-job. This Yeti really gets around; at least he did in his youth. I believe this is the only picture in existence where his face is not covered. He looks very inbred but seems pretty happy about something. Is there some news he is keeping from us?

Picture found in People section!

I've just returned from the Williams Bay swap meet. The weather was great and there were some good deals and advice to be had. Many thanks to Bob & Jane Pegel and the many vendors that make the meet what it is. I posted some pictures in the gear section of the image galleries.
