Memorial Day Weekend

Crazy days and crazy nights; in a 24 hours span it went from 44 degrees to 88 degrees; fog and no wind to howling; Welcome to Memorial day in Wisconsin. I did how ever get out and paddle and sail all three days, which was very much needed.
.
Good breeze on Memorial Day and in the 80's made for a splendid sail; got out early before all the crazies got out on the water. Wind was building all day, went from full sail and PAS down to two reefs in the main.
.
All good things must come to an end or so they say; here is a shot of Rock Lake at Bartel's Beach. Yeah that's me launching in the swim area. Just to the right is a designated canoe launch but the city decided to put picnic tables in front of the launch, so it's terrible for staging the Balogh rig.

Happy Tuesday!! - The Capt'n
