He’s done it again. DN sailor Paul Chamberland is first on the ice in North America, just as he was on November 22, 2023. He’s back on Owlseye Lake while visiting family near his home town of St. Paul, Alberta. This time Paul brought a crew of family and friends, and they spent the day taking turns on the two DNs he hauled north.
A strong start to the season, with temperatures forecasted to drop toward in the Four Lakes region which will help bring ice.
Staying true to our tradition of recognizing the first boat on the ice, we present Canadian DN sailor Paul Chamberland. Yesterday, he powered two DNs through the woods to get to Owlseye Lake near his hometown in Alberta, Canada. Paul reported that the lake is 5.5″ maximum depth, making it the perfect early season lake.
