Hey Mike,
Glad to hear from you. Did you make it to Patoka? Did you sail?
I had not thought of more reliable winds up near Lake Carlyle. I have
never been there. Growing up on KY Lake and Lake Barkley, that is the
only place we felt we ever needed to go. I wish I had thought of that
back in the mid 1980's.
Hey everyone,
I am starting to plan a weekend of windsurfing for October 21-23 on KY
Lake, for anyone interested. The winds should be more dependable, and
most of the boat traffic is gone. There is a group going to Cape
Hatteras the first week of October, but I can not get away for a whole
week at that time. That's a bummer, so this is my attempt at still
getting in some good sailing and some camaraderie.
