Too much flat calm weather lately.
I doubt envy is the first thing that
springs to mind when and if you think of sailing up north. Having been both places and sailed both places, I will say this: If one = could get rid of winter and keep the sailing weather we have may through = October to the whole year, then that would be the perfect sailing = climate. The sub-tropics are nice to visit, but the cloying, = unrelenting heat get to you after a while and the bug factor can't be = ignored. And then, if we had the luxury of a 12 month season here, we = would have perfection...no unsightly barnacles eating away at our hulls, = no corrosive salt wearing out sails and canvas...no predatory fish = looking for a meal to jump off the boat any moment...and we don't have = to fight tide tables up here, so don't have to schedule our comings and = goings around them. (Don't you have horribly huge tides up there in = N.S.?) September and October sailing are always the best on Lake = Michigan. The days are warm and the nights are cool. You can always = put on another layer if you're not the hearty type. --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.
