Current Weather Conditions


Imagine hearing only the sounds of the wind in the sails, ropes slapping, and the water hitting the sides of the boat. The wind blowing is our only source of power on the water with a calmness and feeling of complete freedom on the water. The scenery, spectacular! The water clear and clean. Eagle flying above and fish jumping below. What an adventure this will be.

    We had plenty of sun that's for sure and the wind cooperated allowing us to have a very nice sail both Saturday and Sunday. I was a new-comer and didn't know anybody and everyone made me feel right at home. I felt like I was with old friends by the second day. It's like one big family out there and I can't wait to go back in a couple of weeks. This is definitely a group of people I want to associate with.
