Not if you have an Ice Boat to go sailing with....its minus10deg in the great lakes today
you wouldn't be sailing today you would be part of the ice flow
The frostbiters I know do something similar to that. They sail through December and then start again in March.I sailed my Melonseed in Dec.
When it gets up to 45 I'll do it again. The Yawl is out of the water, the ketch is in Fl. Next season I'll sail the ketch in winter, as I've one in the past on the yawl. But I can't go out if the harbor freezes, and I won't go out if the wind is over 15, or the temp under 40.
I met a guy at a Baykeeper dinner recently who said "I know you, you're that guy that sails in the winter"
That's crazy, already frozen. I bet it wasn't frozen 2 weeks ago was it? Erie is freezing quickly now too because of the few days of single digits. Erie was completely open a week ago, now it's 80% iced over, and the lake effect snow has stopped, but not before two squalls dropped anywhere from 2-4 feet south of us, we got maybe a foot.Here is a link to a cam on my lake. I need to meet somebody with an iceboat.

Erps, dude, now that's hard core! Definitely an admiring golf clap from the gallery.I think we're going to get out this weekend for the three day weekend. This was taken last month when we were heading back from an overnighter in La Conner.

Is that a shot of that weird black trimaran in False Creek?
