description: To learn about winter travel among the islands and the evolution of windsleds from a primary authority, read [On Thin Ice – Windsleds at Madeline Island by Charles R. Nelson (2001]. This unique book is loaded with interesting photos, historical accounts, and mechanical details. It also drives home the fact that the windsled is the ultimate all-season emergency vehicle on the lake, blowing away probably anything the Coast Guard can throw at whatever situation. A word of advice if you plan on riding the windsled: Wear some hearing protection! Bring along a couple big wads of cotton if nothing else.
