Bill Bunting had a look at our launch site just a few minutes ago and reports the worse hazzard is the deep puddle in the parking lot. Bring rubber boots. The ice is still tight to the shore, and the surface consists of a mere two inches of slush. The plate looks flatter than it has been. Temps now are just above freezing with low twenties predicted. Should harden up just fine. The wind gods are feeling generous, offering more than enough, so the least we can do is be gracious, try to sail and stay in one piece. Looks like storm sails for sure.

The ramp isn’t even close to this condition yet, but even so we had a fine day sailing, March 2011, wet feet and all.

All DN’s in any state welcome to the Maine States!
