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

Day #6 on the lake

There was a decent breeze as I waited outside the dealership for my car. I saw an earlier wunderground report of light and variable gusting to 17, WTF??

So as soon as I got my car, I ran home, got the trailer and headed to Hamilton Creek. Southerly winds looked decent in front of Bear Island, but looked DW and much lighter to the SW toward Anderson Road, so I headed for Cook. I stopped at the dam for a look and the parking lot was nearly empty, so I pulled in and rigged the 9.5 and AHD. Getting out was a pain as not only was there barely any wind, but it was coming from everywhere.

The GPS said my top speed was 5.7 and I sailed for 40 minutes. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
