Skimmer Action

Around 4PM everyone got cold and tired and began de-rigging.  Ah, but we all had one more shot at it on the Skimmer!  What a hoot!.  Nat Kolling was trying to stay hiked up and got knocked all the way over, giving himself a nice raspberry on his arm.  It was pure entertainment.  After everyone had a turn (who was nuts enough) we went in to warm up.  The wind had now increased to the point that it was blowing the snow off the ice and it was like a great white dust storm out there.  Corey Wisniewski suited up again just before dark and made a few more runs on the skimmer before putting it away.  We all stood, safe and warm inside and watched and laughed as the little craft shot around the bay, occasionally spinning out.  This was not a day for beginners for sure, but a lot of fun for everyone to watch.
