Default whipping or dipping?

Have you been frostbiting, Walt?


I'm not sure the exact technical definition of that word, but yeah, I
think so. I usually get out on the water the day the lake thaws. Sometimes
there's still ice floating around. Does that count?



I guess so. Frostbiting is early and late season racing, generally in
dinghies, but I believe they call it that with big boats, too.


My last day of racing this year was Nov 5th. Dinghys. I was unaware
that racing was part of the definition, but that's covered.

I wasn't sure whether you needed one of these to qualify:
