"It is with respect and sadness that we announce that Wendell Sherry lost his heroic 10 month battle with cancer. His family is thankful he is finally at peace. They want to take a moment to thank everyone for their love, support, and prayers. This was inspirational to both him and his family. Wendell was a winner when it came to life on many levels. Family, business, and sailing were his strong suits. Wendell tried out for the Olympics with his brother, Lorne, in the Flying Dutchman class in 1976. He built his own observatory near Lake Geneva. Hours before his death, he sat up in bed, asked for a scotch, enjoyed it as he spoke with his family for 15 minutes, and said, 'see ya later'."

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.
