So, I just picked up a DN this fall and between schedule and weather, haven't been able to get it out yet.  This weekend looks promising.  I'm in the Chicago area and I'm wondering where people will be sailing this weekend within a couple 2-3 hour drive from Chicago.  I'd like go where some other DNs are sailing to pick up some pointers, etc.

I also just picked up a DN this past fall and have been anxious to get out on the ice.  I am in Chicago and would love to have a travel partner.  That said, I was on Delevan Lake yesterday with some DNs and some Skeeters and the ice is pretty nice.  It is only about 1 1/2 hours away. There are some rough spots and some that is glass-like.  Worth the trip.  Go to the Delevan Yacht Club and there are a bunch of boats set up on the ice.  There will be sailing and racing.  I am going to Minneapolis this weekend for a family event.  Of course I am bringing my boat with me.

Contact me at this site and I will be happy to join up with you.  I suggest you join the Skeeter Ice Yacht Club.  If you do not know how to get in touch with them then write back here.

If your coming to Minneapolis area this weekend put a post on http://iceboating.net/node   We just got a couple inches of snow.  Lake Minnetonka where a lot of us have been sailing has some drifts and a couple inches of snow on it now from this week.  Post on http://iceboating.net/node and see if there are some other lakes that are still sailable at the moment in the MPls area.
