If there’s one thing that really upsets mariners, it the expression “safely out to sea”, referring to a storm track. Sure, they say, safe for you alongshore but what about us? We’re out to sea, too.

But for iceboaters in Maine, it’s a fine refrain.

No snow tomorrow. Looks like nice wind for a couple of days to boot. With that in mind, a couple of Whizz will be sailing out of Lake Farm tomorrow. All are welcome to join. Pushaw might have recovered as well. If anyone can have a look and report back we could all go there after a couple of days on Dammy.

This is shaping up to be a very good year. Don’t forget that the total eclipse passes right over Moosehead on April 8. More on that later, but pencil it in.
