Snowfer Sailing Season has started. Friday, December 10, 2010 is the official date of the new season. The weekend started great but unfortunately Sunday December 12, 2010 was a write-off. With the mild temperature and wet snow coming down made sailing conditions unfavourable. We checked and drilled holes in different spots within the area we were sailing in. The ice was approximately between 4-5 inches with melting snow on top. Long range forecast for next week calls for way below minus temperature. Which will reinforce the ice even more. Hopefully next week the wind will come thru. Since it’s very early in the season we caution people not to sail by themselves. Preferably sail with a buddy. Check the ice condition first before you sail on it. It’s important you wear a life jacket and helmet.
