Hey 4695 (Mark Keifer),
How does lake christina look? Are we going to have a regatta in 4 weeks??

Get those coots off the lake and especially the coot rider off the back of that poor coot...............

Is impossible only near Chicago buy very well and cheap
steel 440 C cut on insert runners to DN?.
Please tell me about price and the addresses
and the number of telephones to contacts.

Thank you very much in advance and I will be very grateful.

A fellow ice boater in Montana just reported another sighting of the culprit lurking by that beat-up old Skeeter with a new paint-job. This Yeti really gets around; at least he did in his youth. I believe this is the only picture in existence where his face is not covered. He looks very inbred but seems pretty happy about something. Is there some news he is keeping from us?

Picture found in People section!

I've just returned from the Williams Bay swap meet. The weather was great and there were some good deals and advice to be had. Many thanks to Bob & Jane Pegel and the many vendors that make the meet what it is. I posted some pictures in the gear section of the image galleries.

I drove past the legendary Milepost 8 on Lake Christina, Ashby, MN this morning.

Conditions: 45 degrees F, calm winds.

Observations:

The lake is open water. No signs of a freeze in the immediate forecast.

There were about a million, perhaps 1.5 million coots sitting on the water. It certainly explains the consistency of the lake bottom, (for those of us who've made water landings there, we already knew) :)

Details as things cool down

It's gonna be great!

The Minnesota Ice Boat association has hired a private investigator (CIA) to find out if any of its members are involved in any “Unauthorized” Ice Boat projects that the Minnesota Ice Boat Association has not sanctioned. It has come to our attention that there are many “Underground” ice boat workshops through out the state that have not been authorized by the Minnesota Ice Boating Association Task Force.

We are looking for help in identifying the gentleman holding the 2x4 across his face who is “Happily” standing in front of his newly reconstructed Skeeter.

I am looking to buy a cover for my DN, either new or used.

...for duck hunters...

Apparently, the rotenone-induced fish-kill in 2003 has returned the lake to "gin clarity" with increased vegetation. Duck hunters are predicting an increase in waterfowl.
