Has anyone found ice on Tonka that is safe to sail?
Crystal bay froze earlier this week so last night I ventured out in front of my house but it is way too thin to be considered safe or sailable.
Has anyone checked any of the other bays?

Hello I'm an experienced sailor with an old boat. Is anyone coming to the Nov. Dec warmup regatta who has a DN that needs a new home. I live in the area and would be very interested to hear from someone. Thank you so much
