I hope everyone is experiencing our Ohio fall weather. It was 80 on the lake yesterday and the seventh consecutive beautiful day. And there is no rain predicted for five more days. The lake was crowded and there wasn't much wind. I took a few pictures, one of my sails drying after I had to leave them laying uncovered in the bottom of the boat for two days(long story). So I went with one of my Florida trip crewmates on his pontoon boat to lunch. Snapped a couple of pics on the way back. Then one of our race shanty with the Jr. Sailing fleet. More sailing this week.

If you look past the collapsing spinnaker(C&C 30) on top of the hill you might see the Atwood Lodge. A hundred plus rooms, beautiful restaurant and kitchen, two golf courses, two pools, open for twenty-five years, and just a great facility. It is closed and been for sale for over a year. They were about to raze it but have held off for ? ? ? http://www.mwcd.org/atwood-lake-lodge Wanna' go into business?

You are getting what we have had over here in MN for the last 2 weeks I would think. Going to be in the 80's again here so your weather may stay good for about another week. Ours is going to go back to reality around Thursday. I just might have to skip that nightmare that is Vikings football and get out on the lake today.;)

cb, you need to update your profile. At least so we know what you are sailing. NA?
The Browns are off today which is good. Buckeyes blew it last night at Nebraska. Guess I'll have to watch my hometown Steelers who are about as good as your Vikings. Wish I could go to the lake today.

Ed, I am in a boat club so I sail a few different boats. Mostly a Pearson 26 and an O'Day 28. Working on getting my own this fall. Well the Gophers got hammered by Purdue, doubt they will even win a game this year. At least the Steelers have 2 wins this year. I just may have to reserve the O'Day for this afternoon. Boats last day of availability is Saturday the 15th, have my reservation in already for that.

Great Weather

Good stuff, Ed.. We are having excellent sailing down here now too.. The temperature has moderated so that it is pleasant to be out and about.. Pictures are from last Wednesday/Thursday.. a nice little bayou just about 10 miles from the slip .. Other picture is heading back to harbor .. under only jib .. wheelpilot driving.. dodging crab pots..
We have a disturbance on the eastern Gulf that is bringing us a lot of wind right now..

Great couple of days in Indiana. Waiting for a little wind to go out on what will probably be our last sail of the season.

Yesterday was excellent on Lake Michigan. Winds 10-15k out of the SSW. Stayed on the boat Friday night and then got up, did a little work and then sailed for a couple of hours before coming home. I felt bad for those who had already pulled their boats but there were still a lot of them still out on the water. I'll pull mine by the end of Oct. but hope for a few more perfect days.

Being a Wisconsin sports fan has been great over the last year. Things can change quickly so we enjoy it while we can. Plus, my Dad's an OU alum so it was really a good weekend all the way around. We'll see how the Brew crew does against the Cardinals, and the Pack against Atlanta. Both dangerous opponents. I hope I'm in as good a mood tomorrow.

We had 26 deg. last night and low 50's today. Slightly brisk. Most inland boats are coming out of the water now where it freezes over, but since I dry sail I'll go most any sunny day.
Enjoy your fall.
