Hey fellow windsurfers and kite surfers,
I am planning a windsurfing weekend for October 21 through 23 on
Kentucky Lake in far Western Kentucky. I currently have 5 guys ready to
go. Hopefully the wind will be dependable enough that weekend. The
temperature should still be warm enough too for those that don't have
wetsuits.
I am quite familiar with the area since I grew up in Paducah, KY (about
25 miles from there). I have several possible launch places in mind
depending on the wind direction, and a good list of alternative
activities if the wind does not cooperate.
Some details of the weekend include...
Launch Sites:
* Boyd's Landing on Lake Barkley
* KY Lake Sails, Grande Rivers, KY
* KY Dam public beach point, Gilbertsville, KY
* Moss Creek camp ground in Land Between the Lakes
Alternative Activities:
* Mountain biking
* Tennis
* Fishing
* Touring Land Between the Lakes
* Golf
Food Possibilities:
* Willow Pond Restaurant (Exellent fried catfish, hush puppies and
fries)
* The Pelican Restaurant (The best southern breakfast available)
* Lic's Ice Cream
* Mr. B. B. Que (Great Western Kentucky Bar BQ)
* Picnic at the water's edge
Lodging:
I will be staying in my Dad's cabin near Lake Barkley with four
other guys, but the area has many lodges, hotels, and camp sites. The
rates are cheap this time of year too. I can help if anyone needs more
info regarding lodging.
Kentucky Lake is a 3 hour drive from Louisville, and well worth the
drive. Some of us will be leaving on Friday, but even if you can only
come for one day, it would be great to have you there.
If anyone is interested let me know so I can get you more details.
Hope to meet more of you there,
Creston
