Also a little update on Wolf, a friend from nearby says that the IL side is completely open, as are the marshes to the north, so guessing...

Figured these might help some of you, my list of webcams to monitor for ice that. Unfortuntely nothing on Silver, Andrea or Wolf.

If I had to guess I'd say still frozen, but not for long. Pic is from the 22nd so I'm guessing those holes have opened up but that there is...

Mast base pressure for the waterstart makes a lot of sense actually. The day was very up and down pressure wise so I think I may have been...

Got to sail the last 2 days in the most breeze I've sailed yet, at times over 20kts. Probably learned more this week than the whole rest of...

I would really like to. Imagine the wind would be a lot cleaner than the little lakes I go to. I've been pretty limited on sailing this...

I started on a similar big heavy board, I think it's 170L Nova. Was great to start on but due to the US box and stock fin I don't think...

That makes a lot of sense based on how it's sails for me. The 85ck board was only a little behind the big formula that was on the lake when...

It was windy for the waterstart, at first I thought the 8.0 was going to be too much sail but literally the first couple minutes were the...

Had another really nice day even though it was light. Was able to sail the "small" board (Bolt 117) in lighter conditions with the 8.0 and...

Barely gotten out this year, but had a bad break turn into a productive day last week. It was NUKING and I was ready with the new Bolt and...
