Well - the Ice came off the lake last Wednesday. I probably could have sailed that day, but I was down (and even at home) with a very sore throat and flu.
Today, Thursday May 15, 2008, was an exceptional day. The forecast was 40 gusting 60.
I went out on my 5.6 HUCKER. I sailed from 3:00 to 5:00pm. About 1/2 the time the wind was about right, 1/4 the time I was slogging, and 1/4 the time I was way way way over powered....
Some good port ramps, and a few swells that were almost rideable...fun on starboard playing up and down the swell most of the way across.
All in all - a great day - 2 hours sailing, no breakdowns, and lots of sore muscles...
Now I should go and take my medicine......
