Classic sunny day on the ice. Teasing breezes that gets you and the boat a couple hundred yards out of the pits; then it dies. You're then pushing the boat back in. You keep getting sucked in. But you never know. About 2:00 a stiff breeze came up for 20 - 25 minutes. Some nice runs for Whirlwind, Whirlwind III and Lady. Breeze died. Boats were then pulled up on shore to wait out the upcoming thaw. We accept the hours of set up for that 15 minute spin after 2 years of no ice.

| Lady, here piloted by past commodore Brett. |
 |
| Whirlwind pushes out, looking for a breeze. The coating of last night's snow didn't slow the boats down at all. |
 |
| Whirlwind experimented with different runners - 2 sets with different angles - to see how she handled in these conditions. |
