Ice Boating looks like an amazing adventure! The conditions have to be perfect to have a good day on the lake, but you can usually find a few good days in West Michigan in January and February. In the included video you can see fellow adventurist Marc Hoeksema and the West Michigan Ice Yacht Club having a blast on Muskegon Lake. This is definitely on my list of things to try!
Marc said that he wore many layers of gear since the wind chill increases as they sail faster than the wind. Ice was a bit rough so not as fast and smooth as they like but they will take what they can get! The lake is also bisected down the middle from a tug boat that came through a couple weeks prior, so the whole lake isn’t easily accessible. Overall a descent couple weeks of iceboating before the snow mucked it up. They were running over 20 boats on the lake that day.
