We also raced Ensigns on Lake Dillon. Interesting place:
we'd leave the
dock in shorts and t-shirts in 72 degree weather and be in
foulies in
blinding snow by the end of some races. When the storms
came down over
Buffalo Mt. they came with a vengeance. 40kt winds were
not uncommon, or
unexpected.


40 kt winds on the bobspit scale? That's like 12 mph.

The Bobsprit Scale is easy to read: he wets his pants above 10mph.
