It's Never Just a Day Sail

Looking South

 Headed out for a quick sail with he Typesetter today. Salmon Lake is a huge Frenchtown Pond. The wind is all over the place, out of everywhere and with a really annoying on and off switch. Lost the throat halyard and needed to repair that. Nothing major to report. Had  a really good day on the water.

Typesetter watching his sail. I really need to get my pin rails installed.

There was a lot of traffic on the lake.

Back and forth. Back and forth. Not much to do on a short skinny lake.

All kinds.

Wonderful water.

I have a boat that is pretty. Simply pretty.

Happy skipper.

After sailing I attended a class that was hosted by the Flathead Lake Sailing School. Had a great time, looking forward to the second night.I'm bringing a sailboat.

Heron Seige Salmon Lake 8/1/15

Here are a few photos from the final Heron Siege of the year, held at Salmon Lake. Great day had by all save for one almost capsizing and losing the port spreader into the drink. However a new spreader is ordered and the SV Esmerelda is ready for spring 2016.

Happy and optimistic is a great way to start a voyage.

My mother enjoying her sons hobby. Was great to have her out finally. And even more she wants to come again!

Fair seas ahead. It's a beautiful lake.

Beauty astern as well.

First Mate having a wonderful time as well.
