29-September-2013<\/p>\n

As usual, I don\u2019t use the weather forecast to determine if we go sailing or not. I go and see for myself what the actual conditions are in our part of the lake. Well, the weather forecasters got it right on Saturday. They forecasted big winds (20-25 knots) and big waves (to 9 feet) and the winds and waves were both big. So we did not venture out, mainly due to the wave heights.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, my brother, a friend and I went out. The winds were much lighter at 5 \u2013 8 knots and the waves were in the 1 \u2013 3 foot range. It was not an exciting sail, but a casual one.<\/p>\n

I did try out the waterproof feature of my video camera by dipping it along side the boat to see what the bottom of the hull looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
