A Quick Sail
08 July 2012 | Ghost Lake
Chad / Clear and hot
Had to get out on the water again so we headed out to Ghost Lake for a little fun in the sun. Had a great time sailing as there was a nice breeze running across the lake from SW to NE. Allowed for some long runs up and down the lake.
Unfortunately the lack of common courtesy on lake and especially in the marina was astounding. I firmly believe after this last outing that they are giving anyone who can not pass a drivers test a boaters license. Even back when I was 10 or 11 I understood the term No Wake and could follow the directions related to that when entering, traveling through, and leaving a marina. There was far to many people there that did not understand this concept and made life rather difficult for many others.
Very glad I do not have Gotcha on a ball in that marina this year. If it wasn't the jet ski's that wanted to use them as a slalom course then it was the constant wave wash of wake boats cruising through the marina.
Other then the challenged boat operators out there the sailing conditions where very enjoyable and there were several of us out there taking advantage of that enjoyable sail conditions.
