Post Storm Options

We have been left with a bit of a White Mess out there. If anyone needed a reminder, look out the window and if that’s not convincing the lingering shoveling pains will. The cold has definitely settled in, and with it some current and other opportunities coming into focus.

The bitter temperatures have locked up some areas we have not seen frozen in quite a while, including sections of the Hudson River and parts of the New Jersey shore.

People are out scouting a handful of potential opportunities, With more information expected later today or tomorrow. These include Ninigret Pond in Rhode Island and Long Pond in Harwich, Massachusetts. This is just what I know but take a look around the current cold may have helped in other locations. Please these areas are being looked at and conditions are not confirmed and should be considered not sailable till scouting is complete.

At the moment, confirmed options include Red Bank, New Jersey, and Hallock’s Bay on the North Fork of eastern Long Island. Sabago will be attempted by people in Maine check out iceboat.me for details.

Don’t forget to check in on the DN NA activities that will be wrapping up today and rolling into the newly minted US Nationals regatta. https://www.idniyra.org/2026-north-american-championship/

Hang on there is a lot of winter and a great deal of ice beneath the snow waiting to poke free. More updates as reports come in.

Think Ice,
