Course Preparation is Underway!

Submitted by the IceMaker on March 8, 2008 - 11:10.

White Bear Lake, MN preparation of our courses for next weekend's 2008 Closed Course Championship is underway, (underweigh?) This morning we laid out two ~ 1/2 mile ovals, orientated about 90 degrees apart.

The cold temps made snow removal today too time consuming and hard on the equipment to do much more than plot the location & distance. Today sailing here is not possible...

By mid week we exect to be doing hot laps on the finest DN Closed Course Track ever crafted. The tracks are straight out from the White Bear Boat Works, our Event Headquarters for next weekend... they're holding their Annual Spring Open House Next Saturday... with World Acclaimed Chili Cook Off...

Look to continuing reports and photos as this develops...

We should still sail if

We should still sail if there is any breeze at all. I dont think it would take much on a reach to reach course.
