Sailing on Lake Guntersville

Saturday, August 21, was like a fall day. Winds at 10-15 and cool. I went sailing on Lake Guntersville in my Core Sound 20. Jack Agricola came alongside in his Matthews 22, and David Morrow took these pictures. They invited me to Jack's dock near Signal Point for lunch, then a rollicking sail back. They clocked me at over 7 knots with one burst over 10 (planing?)

Birds on Thousand Island and Cisco Lakes in Michigan

A great day for birds, especially eagles, on the Cisco chain of lakes.

The pics failed to publish last time.

Summer at camp

Not much posted in the past two months. I have been teaching whitewater canoeing and kayaking at Camp Merrie Woode in the NC mountains. Here are some pictures from the summer. These are from a camp trip to the US Whitewater Center in Charlotte:

Sunday on the Chattooga

On Sunday we paddled Section III of the Chattooga River at 2.2 feet (on the 76 bridge) with members of the Merrie Woode river staff for rescue practice. Here are some pictures from the trip. I'm excited about the quality of this summer's boating staff!
