Well,
Over the last couple weeks we did an overnight trip to the other end of the lake, not hardly a puff a wind in 2 days! 30 miles from our end, the south end of Lake Pend Orielle, at Bayview ID, to the NW end in Sandpoint ID... 5 hrs and 1.5 gals of fuel... The next day we motored back...
Then a nice day with some friends, rafted up for lunch, then more sailing!
Today was not so nice! But we had plenty of wind
We planned to sail across to the East side at Lakeview, dock there and hike 1/2 mile into the small town there... but the lake has come up and been just over flood stage for over a week, not as bad as they thought due to the cooler weather, but high enough that the walkway from the dock to shore was under water with waves breaking over it... so we ate on the boat and then had a good sail back. It was my Fathers Day sail, the weather for Sunday looks too bad for my daughter to wanna go out 
So were meeting for lunch instead
The picts are here, an the first was taken 2 weeks ago, the 2nd and 3rd shot today an show how the water is almost into the parking lot! Any higher an the power box comes out an no power at the marina...

I do hope to get some more video up soon too...
Hope you all have a Great Fathers Day!
