Greetings fellow Iceboaters,

A few weeks ago I got a call from ABC News regarding Iceboating on Minnetonka, and spot to be featured on Good Morning America's Weekend Edition. The details are still coming together and will be finalized mid-week. I have been organizing this with a few iceboaters to make sure we have some key pieces covered.

Hello,

I've got the site upgraded. I'm in the process of updating the rest of the functionality of the site.

The core is updated and you can update your user info at least.

more to follow..

I have a nice set of 3 Angle Runners, hard rock maple bodies and 316L Stainless Steel Blades, with Brake and a bit shabby 3 runner carry bag for sale, $700.00 OBO I'd planned on never selling these, as they've been very very good to me in a number of races.

Also a nice but used Sequel Mast Cover. $50.00 obo

I'll have them with me on the ice or call or email for pics, (I can't seem to upload images).

Anyone going? I am thinking about it.
They all came to the Challange and the Westerns.
Who's in?

all I see on my "edit" tab is a bunch of numbered warnings. I just want to set a new password, help would be appreciated

I'm looking for a black North Face down jacket that may have been left on shore at Harry's place on Minnetonka. It would most likely have been on the ground up where the cars park; I think it fell out of my car when I was loading up. There is an ID in the inside pocket if you don't believe it's mine! :(

Anyone have it by chance?

I am interested in building the Gambit - I bought a set of plans in 2004. Are there any Gambits in the White Bear Lake area? I'd like to see one or talk to a local builder. Thx.

I'm heading back to Bald Eagle Lake in White Bear this weekend. If there are any other sailors who didn't go the Western Regionals, Bald Eagle promises to be great ice with a great bunch of guys. The ice is solid except for the seams coming out from both ends of the island. Mostly Nites, some DN's, a couple of Skeeters.
