Sunapee 1/11 Recap

After the snow the wind picked up enough to get some sailing I’m. I counted 10 boats some still out getting in a few more runs. Some left over from Friday and some new people. Plenty of room and generally 4+ inches. Before heading out, do check with locals in the pits before venturing out.

Most will be coming back tomorrow Sunday along with a few others. As previously reported T will be setting up marks and there will be scratch racing.

John Bamman reports in from yesterday and a reminder that we owe a lot to our ice checkers. We would never  get out on the ice without them.

A combination of moderating winds from those of the last few days, more comfortable temperatures and expanses of near perfect ice made sailing on Sunapee today was the ideal answer to pent up early season enthusiasm! 

Thanks to Mark’s early morning ice check and marking of the few questionable spots at the south end, 10 to 12 boats took advantage- safe, fun and fast! 

For those who haven’t sailed Sunapee, launching off the beach at the State Park couldn’t be more convenient and has ample parking for vehicles and trailers alike so until lakes closer to home become safely sailable, Sunapee ice is well worth the tripsnow and reduced wind is forecast for the weekend

I do not have a Wentworth update at the moment but it is likely coming. See you on the ice tomorrow,

John
