That's a whole lot of sharp solid pointy things to be sailing around. Is that a bear or sasquatch on the front of the boat ??

At first just a few tree tops showed, now those tree tops are 15ft high. Most of this summer we still had some clean runs. We had to go through rows of trees to get to the clean runs but once we got to the clean runs we were good to go. But the lake kept dropping and eventually we were hitting everywhere. The daily routine was to take the daggerboards home to do repairs. It really sucks.

Things are looking better for a wetter winter. I am also a white water kayaker so the bad snow years hurt both ways.

If we have a dry winter and the lake dose not improve, I will likely leave my boat up at Huntington Lake and head up for a couple days each week. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. My wife wanted to keep the H18 to leave at Huntington but I just didn't really see myself wanting to sail the H18 when I have the SC20.
