High speed fun on Honeoye Lake

I had to patrol at Cummings Nature Center so I didn't get to the lake until after 4pm. Ron was sitting in his car warming up from the bitter cold and rather than hauling all my stuff out I grabbed Ron's ice boat and took it for a ride. The wind was up and I soon joined John flying back and forth across the lake and working our way north. There was a 20mph wind out of the NW and gusts even higher. We went about a half mile north then turned back down wind to give Ron back his boat. He had sufficiently warmed his toes and so I jumped on John's two seat Sirroco with him and off we went. We again worked our way north into the wind and were hitting speeds approaching 40mph. Here are a few pictures of Ron on the ice as we buzzed around the lake.
