Sat. Dec. 12th I windsurf at The Hok-si-la Municipal Boat ramp (upstream of Lake City) and it was 25 degrees out.

I think the water was warmer than the air temp. There no Ice on Lake Pepin. I sailed my 10.8 Loft sail and AHD (Swiss board) formula boad

and I was happily planning and hooked in and feet in the foot straps. (it was blowing 11-14 mph. (well eventually a steady 11 mph North wind)

and that was just fine with a nearly 11 meter sail. The sailed quickly formed an ice covering on it and the boom became slipppy (frozen too).

After 30 minutes I called a day, because it was a bit slippery to control things.

It was an adventure to say the least! I really never felt colt.

Opps...some mistakes to correct.

It was 35 degrees out (not 25).

And when I got off the water and after de-rigging...everythink freeze dried. I did have to dry anything off.

I even freeze dried!

Coming up Friday,,,Dec. 18th going to be 40 degrees! Maybe another Winter Windsurf Sessh!

Quetzalcoatl out.
