Let's see, today is Sunday and that flip-flop happened on Thursday at about 5 or 6 pm. There were relatively few boats out on the water but the second one that passed came to my rescue, and towed me home; a family of 4 in a large bowrider, maybe 24'. The water had quickly changed from a chop to white caps after I got out beyond Horse Island, with the wind coming from the south west. It's a new used, 1981, Force 5, 14' sailboat and it was about my third time using it, so I am still just getting my feet wet. Is similar to a Laser with a taller sail, but much less expensive in the used boat market. Name on the small stern: 'ALL WET.'
For every sailboat out on the water, there seems to be about 50 motorized vessels including boats and jetskis and it's nice to see so many boats out in spite of 4dollar gas. It's a big lake...
