There is a very good chance (from reports I am getting) that I will find a few locations of great ice here on the Bay in Thunder Bay when I go checking tommorow.To have any credibility at all I am really going to need a ranked sailor to come on up here and verify it.What I need is the contact info. preferably a phone # of any sailors interested in getting this info.Same offer still applies I will put you up for the weekend.I really think we have the ice and weather forcast to pull off having the Worlds here in T.Bay.I will do the leg work and be right up front with you ,If I do not find great ice I will not have you driving up here.

Well after a lengthy drive up and down the North shore of Superior, there is no combination (that I could find) of sailable ice and easy access to the Lake.Although Mink Mountain had a good stretch of sailable ice maybe a 6 in rating ( not what I would consider anything worth driving a great distance for), the access to the Lake is poor.Out at Silver Harbour all these small snowfalls have taken there toll.So what might come as a relief to some Thunder Bay is out of the running to hold any major Ice Boat events.

Mike - this should be of no relief to anyone.  We need  as many potential sailing spots as possible...  right not we have none that I know of that is good for Gold Cup sailing.  Anybody?    Anybody?  Beuhler?   Beuhler? Cry

Mike..
Sorry to see you report today.  Ever since I missed the 2010 North Americans, I've been looking forward to coming to Thunder Bay.

Having read the report from Anchore Bay the ice at Mink Mountain out on Superior seems a whole lot better then that.The biggest drifts where mabe 2" and lots of smooth ice underneath.

I'm thinking there's a strong possibility of eating pickeled eggs on Green Bay within a week...  just a hunch.
