Hi gang. I flew up to Gimli beside the lake yesterday and checked out the ice

situation. The shoreline is of course bare, but ice is not too far out. The

water looked pretty open north of Gimli, so maybe we just need a couple of

strong south wind days to clear it up. Willow is almost wide open; there's just

a stubborn bit of ice in the south corner of the lagoon.



Good news; windsurfing's a week or two away. Bad news; I'm still recovering from

a broken collarbone suffered in Maui, so I'm a good month out yet. Looking

foward to seeing you all in June.

I think both lakes will be open this week unless this next cold spell slows it

down. But the wind should do it's thing to eat away at it. Todays images of the

Lakes...
