Looks like a day for the Marina in the afternoon. Head up to The Narrows. Watch for motorboat traffic. Anybody thinking about it? I could be talked into going.

I hope someone got some today. Had to sit this one out! Not easy, the things I give up for others:)

Another good day at the lake. The motorboat traffic wasn't all that bad. 5.8 sail with 68cm FSW. Lit when I got out there. Headed my way up to The Narrows. There was a huge floating log/tree just up wind of The Narrows all set to rip an outboard motor off. This thing was 8" in diameter and 30 feet long. I dragged/swam it to shore. Got one end on shore and pivoted it using the float from the water. Once on dry land it revealed its weight. That sucker ain't moving. The wind made a shift from S-SSW to S -SSE. It was nice to already be that far up the lake. The reach angle I was making could take you all the way to the dam. My legs were burning on the way back in. Got off the water around 5:00pm.
