50+ knots of NE breeze. Makes for some serious waves on the lee shore. That cliff is over 60 feet high.

I've seen that same scenario on the cliffs of New England during a Nor'easter. Sends shivers down my spine just thinking about getting caught out there.

One of my favorite songs from the 70s but I can't listen to it or the wife may never sail again.

Sorry fellas, one of my favorites too. Always thought I had the vocal range of Gordon Lightfoot. Turns out not so much. Just thought it appropriate to decorate JD's pic of the monster waves on Superior. I would never play it for the admiral either.

Pic was taken at Tettegouche State Park. That cliff is close to 100 ft high. There is a neat trail that follows the top ridge. Might have gotten a little wet that day. :biggrin:

I haven't even gotten up to take the cover off our boat yet either. 35 degrees in Bayfield this week and gales like this on Lake Superior make me feel alright about that.

Last Thursday Pikes called us and said 'Kestrel is going in tomorrow'! So we pack the truck with sails and head up. 12 hours later...



April 22nd. Earliest launch ever for us.
