No ice these days, but there is plenty of faster-than-the-wind sailing to be done...

Here's a video of Geoff (US-5156) and Jim (US-5566) getting in some close-quarters boat-handling practice a few weeks ago:
This is one of the videos on my YouTube "blokart Sailing" playlist.

Below is a slightly edited email I received from Loretta Rehe who wrote:

It is with great sadness that I notify you of the death of a great
iceboating ambassador. Bob Pegel died peacefully this morning.

I have a magazine publisher interested in doing a story about iceboating from the Duluth/Superior area.
Her name is Claudia McBride. The magazine is Duluth Superior Living. She has seen a few ice boaters in the area on the ice, but has not been able to connect with them to help on her story. If you are from that part of the state, give her a call at 218-590-6989 or email her at Claudia@duluthsuperiorliving.com

If you're near a TV Saturday morning, check out a story WCCO is airing sometime between 8:00-9:00 AM
Cameraman & reporter both go for rides on White Bear Lake.

Hello,

I've got the site upgraded. I'm in the process of updating the rest of the functionality of the site.

The core is updated and you can update your user info at least.

more to follow..

all I see on my "edit" tab is a bunch of numbered warnings. I just want to set a new password, help would be appreciated

"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'."

I apologize to all the new users who signed up but then their new account wasn't activated. The settings got changed because of the spammers, and then the email was getting put into a folder I wasn't checking... I enabled all the users, (including the spammers.. let's see if they come back)..

Think Ice.
