Windsurfing

Congratulations on the trailer, Wind Surfer. I'd love to have something a lot shorter than 40 feet because our size does limit our options. But we need an office with room for a desktop computer and three monitors, and we need for everything to be stored inside, including the boards. Everything's a trade off.

However, we still managed a stop at Lake McConaughy last weekend, on our way from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Denver. The entire detour, driving and sailing, added only about 3 or 4 hours to our trip. That's the beauty of traveling with your equipment.

Carey sailed; I didn't. I sent him out as the wind dummy and he reported that the wind was perfect, but I'd hate the chop and swell. Or, the chop and swell on the way back--on the way out it was nicely spaced but more voodoo-ish on the way back.



So he sailed for a couple of hours and I didn't, and a fine time was had by all. But he said if we're going to do any real windsurfing any time soon, he's going to have to do a push-up or two because riding his bike doesn't do anything for upper body endurance.

Thanks, Jeremy, for the McConaughy photos because it made us believe we could find a place to park and sail, and we did.
