“If you scout it, they will come…”
Finally, there’s some good regatta news to report rather than what seems to be perpetual postponements. The DN fleet is heading west this weekend to Clear Lake, Iowa, for the DN Western Region Championship. On Thursday, Belle Plaine DRIFTER, Pat Heppert, sailed his freeskate windsurfer around Clear Lake and made a detailed map. Ice thickness is 20″ except for the open water from the two large permanent aerators on the lake which are detailed on the map. He rates it a 4.5 and says it’s rough, though sailable. See the IDNIYRA website for more information and registration.

Well it’s that time of year, will we or won’t we? Mother Nature is making us wait again. We are all still hopeful that a sheet of ice will come into play. So maybe the luck of the Irish will be with us and we can all get together and play next weekend.🍀
Sail Safe, Sail Fast,
