The 2022 Wisconsin Stern Steering Association regatta has been postponed to February 19 and 20. The next update will be Sunday, February 13. Check back here at that time. The Northwest Ice Yacht Association regatta takes precedence. The prediction changed, not enough melt today, not much expected tomorrow, and the wind dropped quite low for the weekend. Let us know if you find conditions somewhere.

Bucky on the B

University of Wisconsin mascot Buckingham Ulysses “Bucky” Badger was seen yesterday at the Frozen Assets Festival kicking the tires on the stern-steerer, the MARY B.

Bucky’s been around campus for a while, and no doubt remembers the fleet of stern-steerers that Bill and Carl Bernard kept for university students.
Today is the last day of Frozen Assets Festival at the Edgewater and your chance to see the MARY B.
