[Alberg30] cold white north

[Marianne King-Wilson]

Hi, Dick!
I do envy your year-round sailing, but we dress for winter, enjoy a thousand
miles of groomed snow trails for cross-country skiing or snowmobiling, and
fragrant woodburning fireplaces when we come home.  We'd love to get ice sailing
started here, to enjoy the miles and miles of hard water.
This year, freeze-up has been very late--just happened.  The ice goes out by
mid-April at the very latest; sometimes we can launch in late March.  Some of
our club members are still in the water to early December, but most are out by
the end of October.
