Hey Ya'll
I went out with a buddy and floated a cool mountain lake that my friends suggested we do, in the Sierra's on Saturday.
The wind was gusting 15 to 28mph so it made for some fun sailing until it was just too strong. We went downwind for the first three or four miles and did not have to pedal at all
I think that was the best run ever at 4.5 to 5.2 mph G.P.S.
I finally took the sail down because it was really blowing and I did not want to break up any of my my shizznit.
So we all had a ton of fun and nothing broke , bent ,creaked , squeaked , leaked , flipped , flopped , dropped , cracked , cut, tore off or otherwise refused to function.
It was a good place to go and we even runt across a couple of wild Bald Eagles in a nest up a tree back in a sheltered cove. It was guarding its nest of baby birds and flying around the lake getting food. We were doing our utmost not to disturb them as we watched them for a bit.
I cant wait to go back up there again real soon if things work out right.
Looks like some good fishing there as well so maybe we will wet a line next time.
Have some fun out there. ..summer aint over yet
