Nite iceboat #10, also known as Wombat, has been pulled out of Roger’s barn. She is now, almost, poised to slide without delay onto the first sailable ice. (And, as the photo below shows, ice is being made.)

Ice-making is happening early this year, causing hope to spring eternal that we will get many square miles of it, pure black and unblemished by white. #351 is totally ready, waxed and polished and sporting a new cover. #165 has recently undergone plastic surgery and is now in the beauty shop getting gussied, and Wombat, old faithful Wombat, probably close to her 60th year on the hard stuff, is seriously planning on winning a race this time around the marks.
