Ice Wind Surfing?

Took a little drive today simply because we can. :) Ended up in Fond du Lac, Starbucks you know. They have a nice park there that is usually pretty crowded in the summer. A lot of weddings go on there. They have a gazebo and a lighthouse that you can go up in. Lake Winnebago is huge!

 

This is a panoramic view of the lake, and it is only half of it.  It doesn't look like the lake if frozen over, but some very adventurous people were either snowmobiling or fishing. Crazy!

At first glance, this looks like a sail boat cruising in the water. It is actually skiing across the ice, and they are going pretty darn fast also. We figured that they were going at least 40 to 50 mph. It took them awhile to get going. We watched as they got off a few times to push, hoping that the wind will pick it up. 

It was quite nice there today and definitely going to make the trip sometime in summer
