9/30/07
My schedule yesterday required that I leave BO about 4 pm. On
the way out it looked like Ed was on still the S side, slogging his
way back, or maybe slamming and slogging, I could not tell in that
fine westerly breeze.
Your weather synopsis
below helps explain why I had such a brief sailing experience between 3 and
4 pm. I can believe the gusts to 47 the way it ripped my 4.3 from my
hands several times.
The on-shore brief
discussion of the Windsurfing Club and what it can do was
interesting. I forgot to mention that sometimes an
"official" organization of like-minded enthusiasts can have a
positive political effect. Windsurfers will always have to speak up
for good launching areas and shore access, and for enforcement of safe
boating practices at area lakes. Lobbying by an
organization can often be much more impressive to your average elected
official than pleadings from what seems to be one or two individuals
only. (The only reason I joined the Branched Oak Yacht Club was to
add to the numbers representing an interest in maintaining lake level to
the Corps of Engineers.)
Keep sailing, keep
the emails coming.
Regards
Jim
