Looks like it's a good year for ice boating.
"This week, the ice just north of the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge has hosted an ice-boat revival of the likes that hasn't been seen in a century. On March 1 and 2, an impromptu festival popped up on the river, with scores of people, dozens of ice boats, dogs and campfires and a brass band all on the ice. The stars of the show were two 50-foot-tall one-ton ice boats called the Jack Frost and the Rocket, which hadn't shared the ice together since the early 1900s"

Anyone ever go ice boating? I got to ride in one when I was little- I remember how bumpy, windy and cold it was, but also a lot of fun.
