Every once and a while the stars align

It's great to have the stars align.

Last week we had a perfect day. Which is rare for mountain lakes.
We had perfect steady wind the whole day with 80 degrees and no humidity. PERFECT day.

THIS is why we do this.

I suppose when they align in one spot they have to be out in another.

It's pretty close to 80 degrees here today as well, with 88% humidity (104 degree heat index).

There was a wall at the end of this garage when I woke up this morning.



But seriously, I'm very happy for you and I'm counting the days until I'm back on the water.

The ONLY benefit of mountain lake sailing is low humidity. It's a virtual desert here. 80 degrees feels nice with no humidity.

Downside is T-Storms popup out of nowhere. Requires CONSTANT monitoring of weather radar. Deep lakes turn into monster waves with t-storms.

We haven't done an overnight in years. Gonna do one this week. LOVE LOVE LOVE the water on the boat at night. Best times. It's been too long.

We get the pop-up thunderstorms here but offshore with virtually unlimited visibility you can usually spot them developing early enough to get the sails down before you get blasted. A nice, cool breeze coming out of nowhere on a hot day means that things are about to get real.

It's our shallow water lakes (and Gulf-side waters) that kick up quickly in a thunderstorm. The deeper areas take longer to get stirred up.
