Check out the attachment. I had a friend of mine out sailing, and he brought his digital camera. I voiced my concern about him dumping it overboard, but he accepted the risk as his own. What a great shot!!! Pretty fun!
Cheers!

I believe they were using an ice fishing shanty as the weather mark, sun block is pulling your parka strings a little tighter to cover your face and more than one skipper has protested a port tacking ice flow.
Nacra 6.0NA to kill myself quickly and a Johnson 18 to do it a little slower.

I was up there around White Bear Lake, MN last winter. Talk about nuts! The high was something like 4 degrees farenheit the whole week (but it WAS windy).

When I had to go up to Tim's locale to edit the videos we did together, the temperature never was above zero and I never saw the sun until the airplane broke through the clouds on the way home. On the other hand, I have sailed and have put on two great sailing seminars at Bald Eagle Lake when the weather was great. Must of found some sort of window there. Rick
I would love to do so, but alas, no one in Europe has ever volunteered to host a seminar. Well, not quite, I did do one in Southampton, UK for Corsair Trimarans a couple of years ago. It was really great.., all but the part of figuring out how to drive on the wrong side of the road.
A few years ago a cat dealer in Israel wanted to do one, but it never geled. At any rate, if anyone ever wants to have a seminar there, the full information on how to do so is on my website: http://www.sailingseminars.com and then click on "How to Host..." Haven't been to Europe since I went to school at the U. of Munich.., and a month of skiing in the Alps in 70s. Ciao, (a little Euro lingo, there) Rick
