Great to hear some excitement on our Windsurfing group again. I was
out and tested our regatta site yesterday with skies and a kite.
Great lake to kite on in the winter for sure. Finalized the last part
of the NOR and sent out for official approval by some of our MOWIND
oldtimers to make sure it was safe to pass on to people. Expect it in
your email inbox shortly and also to be posted here. It will be sent
out to lots of midwestern windsurfers and kiters (ex windsurfers).

Great to hear you are coming down to race Fred, Minnesota is only a
3.5 hr drive from Saylorville. We have several people already telling
us they are coming down for our 1st Annual Lake Saylorville Regatta.

Some people me or Larry has heard from that will be coming, again
dates are May 4th, 5th and 6th. I will be working hard to get a large
group of wind junkies to attend.
