Moosehead Lake

Hey Folks-

Greetings from Kelly’s Landing in Greenville Junction, ME.

The weather is here there and everywhere….

Yesterday there was 4”-6” snow on top of two feet (according to locals) of solid black ice. In any case I did see some big pickup trucks driving on and off of the lake so that says something….

Overnight temps were high 40s / low 50s and light rain. Plus crazy gusting wind as a front went by. Sounded like a freight train out there, not to be confused with the actual freight trains that run behind the hotel here.

So at sunrise it was well below freezing, blowing snow and it looked like 90% of the snow had melted off the ice. Now at 8:30 it’s looking like the breeze is fading, sun coming out, and maybe good conditions for the weekend. I’m going to walk it and maybe sail it this morning and will send a report. Hopefully no shell

Too late to call an official regatta but we could have a great weekend of scratch racing and hanging out. Plenty of lodging I. Greenville and a good launch area….

I’ll be here all weekend, marks will be set and scratch races will happen if conditions are good!

Stay tuned….. in the meantime here are some shots of the lake this morning. Check the forecast and make a call!
