The Mighty Mike Burns recently queried the Long Island windsurfing forum thusly: "Liquid water?" What's a waterman or waterwoman to do with all this ice? I had a great seven days in Bonaire last month (more reports coming) but I need more. I subscribe to Long Island's Windsurfing Rule of 100 (works for SUPing too).…
