Warm & Wind Together!
Richard -Sunny 70+ Wind – 5-9
20 March 2010 | Telico Lake, TN
We just returned from a trip to Rhode island and today was spectacular – Warm, sunny, nice breeze. Karl Heye and I took to the lake for a little R&R and his first sailing adventure. The Mac didn’t show any nasty tendencies and I was finally able to stretch out some of the wrinkles and get her up to speed. We got to the lake about 5pm and by 5:15, we were under sail and cruising at 5mph. The wind was pretty steady out of the SE and varied from 5-9mph just about perfect for a gentle first lesson for Karl. We sailed 3 miles down lake to the power lines and then back upstream to Lauderback Cove. The wind died at 7 as the sun dropped into the incoming clouds. Temp dropped, no wind – motored back to the Yacht Club.
Great day!
