most of us are glad to see the ice gone! just a few weeks ago the lake was still hard. but there are a few die hards. maddcatter is really worth the trip though, the actual regatta is sat and sunday the thursday and friday stuff are extra and do not count torwards regatta points. hope to see some of you guys up here. the level of competition is usually very high.
