Ah, the joy of sailing! This lake is so beautiful and so many different aspects define it, from small, deep coves, to high cliffs. We sail as often as the winds allow! Last week, we left on the sailboat for 4 days, and, thanks to the Marine management of the lake, we now have some great buoys to hook onto, assuring a safe night's sleep in a deep anchorage along different bays in the lake. One of the afternoon, we had added excitement as a windstorm, not expected according to the weather report, hit us in the middle of the lake, with wind clocked at 38 miles/hr (Navy buoy). We quickly dropped all sails, donned our life jackets, started the motor and steered into the waves for the next hour, until we safely were attached to a mooring ball on the Green Monarchs.
Our lifestyle on the boat? Similar to Mexico - swim, simple meals outside in the cockpit, enjoy the sunset, a game of cards, a good sleep! love the life!
