But, watch the video anyway, it's a bit fuzzy but it will give you the flavor of this event. If this sheet of ice doesn't get yer blood pumpin' ye must be ded.</p> <p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aklsa2h_sos</p> <p>It was stunning! The huge bluffs behind the racers, the brilliant blue sky, the trains crawling along the WI shore (and the boats BEATING them!), being able to sail 8 miles to Lake City for burgers, and the most-perfect launch site. It was almost overwhelming. I was too star-struck by all the serious racers en masse, so I left my boat on the rack and just soaked it all in. When I drove up along the bluff, coming from Lake City, and saw that flock of 100+ white sails on the WI shore it took my breath away.</p> Tue, 15 Jan 2008 18:19:14 -0600
