i got almost stuck in the ice. lucky we made it back i one piece.
it is really hard to steer when you are crushing the ice even with the rudders down.

Dude!
I have done some pretty "hard core" catamaran stuff in my days, but I tip my hat to you on this.

wolf, most of our challenges are associated with keeping beer cold, be we solved it this year...put the beer in the ice bags with the ice then into the soft cooler. this wasn't a problem for vkm... i believe they used a higher octane fuel than us...
