New Plank

Bob Gray has just finished building my new Plank.Now it gets passed on to Dick Wollam to shape and put on the Chocks.

Friday was a good news bad news day.Day started off by putting are beloved cat Hobie to rest.Very sick with Kidney failure. A great sail in the afternoon took my mind off him for a bit. Went out again Sunday,but light winds and the fact that some small stiff drifts had built up made sailing not an option.Spent the beautifull afternoon out cross country sking on the Bay.Very cool,saw a couple Bald Eagles, and a fresh Deer carcass out on the ice.

Floral Beach again

mostly pushing and skating.Miles of good ice under heavy Hoar frost.

Floral Beach
