Regatta still on holding pattern.Unfortunatly no real sailable ice yet.The good news is with the real cold weather approaching,I am some what assured I have a good chance of finding ice by the weekend.So I will continue to post and although I do not feel certain enough to call the regatta on for this weekend,if I find ice and you want to join me sailing you would be more then welcome.

Unfortunatly after all the hype a regatta here in Thunder Bay during November does not look like it is going to happen.This has been a very unusual November.Hopfully I have not discouraged people from comming here again when the conditions warrent.This location really has good potential for very early sailing.Talked with an owner of one of the resorts at the primary location,and he was very enthused about hosting a regatta.he said he would also sponser some door prices,he has a heated garage for any maintence work.The lodgeing is located right on the Lake.He is willing to let it go for $20 a person.So the good news is I have made some good contacts for the future.

Don’t get discouraged. Holding regattas is a tough business. It is a lot of work and scouting to find a place. Thanks for making the effort. After you do this a while, you learn to go with the flow. It is always a gamble, you do a lot of driving sometimes and don’t get to sail.
On the other hand, now you understand why the class blocks out a whole week for a NA regatta that may happen in 2 days if the weather and ice are just right. Maybe we start in Thunder bay, and then move to Red Bank in New Jersey.
Cheers,
Eric
