Hi John,

I hope recovery is going well and that you'll be making shavings
soon. We just got our first three days on the ice last weekend. Our
time was short and sweet since we now have a coating of styrofoam
snow over the pond but we have our fingers crossed for a meltdown. I
know you like to follow our antics so here is a link to the new site
address. http://easternmaineiceboaters.com/ I had a bunch of problems
with server address changes so this year I hooked up with a differnt
server and domain name. Hopefully we can keep this one up and running
for awhile.
I built a new boat for my daughter this season so I have been quite
busy getting her going. I didn't get a chance to tinker with the wing
like I had hoped. I just rigged and sailed it as I left off last
season. The last sailing day we had conditions that were favorable
for the wing so that I could make runs of 3/4 mile before tacking and
play with the flap settings while doing so. The wing was a joy to
drive under these conditions. I started to notice last season and
especially the last sailing day of this season that my boat starts to
bounce once the wing is hooked up and going. At first I thought it
was just being caused by rough ice or me not have the wing set
correctly. The bounce isn't drastic but enough to make me think that
my boat is not set up correctly. Have you ever experienced this? I
can't seem to figure out what is causing this.
