My son sailed a college regatta at Northwestern last year. Flat nor warm
were not words used much in our conversation!

We watched a regatta on Lake M. a few years ago, just off Chicago. I
assumed at the time that at least one of the schools participating was
Northwestern. The waves were typical 4-6' closely-spaced chop, and the
northwesterly was a chilly 45 deg. F at about 18kts. The FJs would
disappear behind the waves making it almost impossible to count the number
of boats on the course at any given time. We watched the kids come in from
the final race. It is an understatement to say they looked unhappy.
