I am in pretty much the same weather pattern as you Richard, and we have had
some very high water levels in Kettle Creek, but last weekend did turn out to
be a pretty good one on Lake Erie. We had the 50th running of the L.E.I.R.
(Lake Erie International Race) from Port Stanley to Ashtabula on Friday, a
distance of 49 nautical miles. Conditions were well nigh perfect for the race,
with 10 - 15 knots of wind somewhere between a close reach and a close haul all
the way across. There were 32 boats in all, with C&Cs and Tartans being the
most represented manufacturers, but I think that C&C had a slight edge
numerically. I won a hat and a bottle of Mount Gay, for getting a third in my
fleet. As usual we had a good time partying with our friends at AYC on
Saturday. There was not enough wind to complete the Childs Cup race back to
Port Stanley on Sunday. There was a clear sky overhead, but an odd haze on the
lake, which we later found out to be smoke from all the forest fires out west.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Boat time and weather
Our weather pattern here in the middle states has not bee conducive to
boating; it rains or has a high percentage chance of rain almost every day;
plus, the Ohio River has been up over its normal banks for over two weeks...
very unusual for mid summer. I have not been able to get into my dock because
it has been under water.... Sooo; I was wondering if anyone has any good
boating stories or getting much sailing time in?
