If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes!

That's an old saying about Lake Nipissing which proved itself tonight for the Monday Night Group Sailing. We went at 6:00pm under breezy conditions with 1/2 metre swells. Every 15 minutes it was changing until by 7:00 pm we had F4 winds (14-15 knots) with gusts upto 21 knots (upper limit for the club). Bob and Karen kept the boat tightly trimed and we covered alot of lake in a short period of time. The swells were well over a metre at the end which made pulling in the sails like riding a roller coaster. We were tossed by the waves (SW winds) back into the marina safely. What a ride! Remember the arrangments regarding this Saturday Group Sailing (see earlier Blog article) and check the club's calendar regularly to see if any activities are planned.
Cheers,
