Tales of Windsurfing on a Lake in the Southeast U.S.

Another Sailable Day

It blew all last weekend, but every redneck in town was at the lake, so I was not.

It blew Tuesday, Wednesday, and today (Thursday). They keep forecasting hail and thunderstorms that never arrive. Not sailing TOTALLY SUCKS!



Here is my drive to the lake today. I got rained on on the way there.







A nice ominous sky going to the parking lot at Hamilton Creek.








WHTF? The lake looks dead.

Ahhh, looks a little better toward Anderson Road.








Better still.

Why didn’t I sail this??? Because it was too windy and there was not another soul on the lake.
