Open water report update please
I don't believe we'll have any open water we can sail/kite on around the metro area anytime soon, but any updates of open water would be appreciated. I'd happily drive to Swede if that were the only option.

To the man born in Madrid: (Don Quijote?)
If you want open Water,,,Lot's of Wind on Friday (25 mph!) you know where you have to go!
Clear Lake, IA. (Friday, at the Hatchery) for S-SE wind.
Saturday, Nada!!
Sunday, pretty good wind 18 mph. (Oh, yes, Lake Pepin is open....but not much wind in the forecast). It's hard sometimes to get wind down in that deep Lake Pepin valley.
Those bluffs, at nearly 500 ft high in some places do have the tendency to block the wind (sometimes).
Quetzalcoatl out.

I can confirm Waconia opened up this morning. Some broken ice at DNR launch but expect that will clear in next couple of hours.
