Thanksgiving Greetings from the NEIYA

Thanksgiving cheer to all who chase the ice and the wind, and to the families, friends, and shore crews who make it possible.

As we gather with good food and good company, we’re looking ahead as well:
winter is coming, runners are sharpened, gear is sorted out, and weather maps are getting a more attention. It will not be long for most of us.

Congratulations to Race Chair Paul Chamberland for once again claiming the first sailed ice award. Blades on the ice and running. November 22, 2023 Owlseye Lake, St. Paul, Alberta. Way to go Paul.

With luck, we will sail together before the new year, mixing it up across New England, the Northeast, and the Midwest. Perhaps even a Winni Hardway if the season falls into place.

Until then stay well, enjoy the day, and keep thinking cold and ice.

See you at Steve Lamb’s Shop this Saturday 11/29 10:00am. Remember if you need help sorting out your boat bring it on down and let our panel of the seasoned give it a once over. All are welcome, especially those who have always wanted to get out and sail the ice. Boat or not come out Saturday. Drop me a note if there are any questions.
