Checked the ice conditions on Lake Pepin at Pepin last night and it is not encouraging. Still an inch or so of crust and tons of RV and Sled tracks on the lake. It was reported that at ice looked clearer up the lake, but I didn't get an opportunity to get up there.
Boats on the lake are settled in and will have to be removed this weekend. 6 to 10 feet of water along shore and the lake is starting to raise. Probably have a time getting the boats off Saturday. Bring your boots.

Dave Zoll just posted: "FYI favorable reports on Houghton Lake, will be sailed Friday, may be sailed Thursday, stand by."

Forecast is for a cooling trend starting now. Tonight's low is supposed to be just above 20F, with Thursday through the Saturday dropping into the mid/low teens. Daytime highs Friday and Saturday are right at freezing, with a bit warmer Sunday.

Cheers,

Yup, it sure looks like the forecast warm and then cold will have "zambonied" pretty much every lake in Minnesota we should be good to go for a couple weeks now.

I need to grab some more footage in the next few weeks, so if anybody is going sailing please e-mail me and let me know. I don't know what the ice is like due to a) the 30 feet of snow we got and b) the 60 degree weather we have now but if your going sailing let me know when and where.

thanks

the good rev.

Does anyone know if any places in/around the Twin Cities rent out ice surfing equipment? I'd love to try before I buy.

I've just learned about icesurfing...I live out in Hudson, and Lake St. Croix looks like a perfect playground.

I'm looking to restore/rebuild a couple old DN's to involve some high school students in my youth group...We would love anything to get us on the ice. My cell is 574-528-0272 or email dhilbish828@yahoo.com. I'm in Northern IN. Thanks

I just spoke with a gentleman who was in Duluth this past Sunday, He said the ice was clear as far as the eye could see. I'm hoping He's not blind, the webcam doesn't look that great.
Can anyone confirm this? Would be great to have another chance to go sailing yet this year, Duluth is only a couple of hours away from Mpls. Are there any other locations that have survived the latest rath of mother natures massive snowfall?

A while back JD posted a repair technique for fixing cracked sideboard using shop vac to suck epoxy through crack. Could someone repost or post link.
I beleive the fix required placing paper towel over crack on one side covered with plastic .and placing epoxy on oposite side , sliting plastic and using shop vac to suck epoxy through showing wetting in paper towel?
Any help would be appreciated

See ya on the ice

Congrats to JD on his 5th place finish. Also congrats to Adam Koller on his 3rd in the bronze at his first World Championships. Looks like Pat Hutner had a slow start, but came on strong

Hi--was wondering if anybody will be selling DNs/Equipment after the DN Worlds--I will be down sailing (From Escanaba) on Saturday. Thanks!
