If you learned to sail in Colorado shouldn't you have mastered reading
the wind? It changes every minute in direction and intensity.


Amen to that, but that was one hell of a long time ago. I'm rusty. And
when talking about intensity, Colorado mountain lakes have that in
spades.

I'm sure I've related our experience racing Ensigns on Lake Dillon, when we
started out in 75 degrees, 7 kts., shorts, t-shirts, and ended up shivering
in foulies in horizontally-driven snow.
