Off topic, but I also lived in the 'Knife, small world eh? Early in my career I worked as a bush pilot up there. Flew Turbo Beaver on skiis/floats/wheels, also lots of twin otter time. Flew the Yellow birds, for Ptarmigan. Great hunting & fishing. A couple of the guys were pretty good windsurfers, alas I was not one of them.
You are right, that road was the s$@#ts, though I only drove it twice. As of 2 years ago it has all been paved, & the really crappy section from Rae Edzo to the 'Knife realigned. There are quite a few avid sailors, but I do not recall ever seeing a cat on the water. Would you have been one of those guys who sailed the ice boats off Joliffe Is right after freeze up? I never tried it, but man were they fast.
