I've had 4 days out this spring that have been a real hoot sailing on storms coming through. Dippin the rail and bendin the tiller. I'd work on the boat in the morning and look at the skies and say, "No.. too stormy to go out" and then off I'd go for an afternoon of great fun. I also got the thrill of taking out a new owner of a Catalina 27 who does not know how to sail. Now that was fun!
Lake Lanier is relatively small, and the land around it is high, so the winds come from every direction. It makes the sailing super fun as you move in and out of wind shadows from the land masses.

I can remember that effect sailing on Canyon Ferry in MT. Makes you really have to pay attention. Can be frustrating though if you are actually trying to get somewhere!

Anyway, your a lucky dog.

Similar conditions exist on Lake Arthur north of Pittsburgh. They say if you can sail Lake Arthur you can sail anywhere.


I don't know Ray, if you keep having all this fun I may have to file a protest - just as soon as I figure out where to file it!

Good for you!

I've been sailing so much this season I've lost count. God Bless Texas. I have to get all I can now as after June the wind goes away.
