Holy Moly! Real nice pics! Look at that shoulder position. What do you think Doc Miller? HaHa!
After setting up the ice boat that I’d been refinishing and tweaking for the last month, I sailed it in some crazy gusty wind. I joined in with the gang at the far end of the pond for some laps and then came in for a break where Doug, Don, Jason and Mark were setting up an assortment of wind toys. Frankly I was very anxious about setting up the wing in the wind conditions and avoided it until I saw how well Doug was sailing. So I rigged up my wing and joined Doug and Don for some nice rips at the far end of the pond. I was glad to get over my anxiety left from my freak accident last year on the wing. Even with the gusty winds I felt comfortable enough with the decent ice conditions to let it fly and all without a harness!
But the real kudos of the day goes to Doug who after sailing a bit on his small wing comes over to the ice boat gaggle on shore and says “All right…who lost their keys? “. Unbelievably he found a set of keys out on the acres of ice and stopped to pick them up thinking they were a tin of breath mints or something! THEY WERE MY KEYS!!!! ARGHHH! A replacement set including remote features costs 300-400 dollars! Oh man what a day. Can only think that its a karma thing as only a day earlier I reached into an unlocked car in a parking lot and turned some guys light off. You can’t make this stuff up! Really!
So the kite wing is the nuts! In the right conditions on good ice it is a speed demon.
Over and Out. Kim’s throwing up in the bathroom gotta go!
