We left the dock about noon with the wind at 8 to 12. By 3:30 the wind was 18 to 24. Seas were white capping in some areas of the lake. We were taking water over the deck and in the cockpit. For us small inland lake sailors that is a rare event-what a great day.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. You will not get another chance.

Glad to hear it Howard...I had planned to get out there yesterday but didn't make it out. I'm gonna head out to the marina in a couple hours and spend today on the boat.

BTW - Did you sound the channel?
