Please join us in celebrating one of our southern neighbors, Skeeter Iceboat Club member Burley Brellinthin, who turns 100 years old today.

Burley has been a fixture in the iceboating community for decades. Here’s a photo from just a few years ago, with his Boecraft Skeeter ON THE ROCKS.

Happy Birthday, Burley. You’ve been showing us how it’s done for a long time.
