well that was one %$#&^ of a winter to say the least. today with 70 degrees and what looks to be a light easterly wind, we are taking the 16 out to carlyle lake. been so long (or seems so) that i feel i will have to learn how to sail all over again. maybe we will see some white pelicans and i think ill take my camera. hope everyone else above the mason dixon line is getting out as well ------fair winds and calm waters to you all------oh, and come to the rendezvous in july. its a hoot and a holler
fyi----we sailed yesterday as planned. the wind was light but a few times we made 3 knots or so, anyway the lake is in great shape with very little debris and the ramps and docks at hazlett are perfect. cant wait until next time.
Kick:
Glad you made it out on the water! The first sail of the season is always a memorable one. Glad all went well...I haven't made it out yet; my boat is still under cover and will be for a few weeks.
One of my traditions on the first sail is to offer a small beer offering to the bay in celebration of winters end. Any beer will do but Pabst has been the beer of choice for this occasion.
