08/16/06 Sailboat Beach Deer Creek

[duanekarren]

Craig was dead on. Grant Mcallister & I arrived @ Deer Creek about 12:30. I rigged a 7.5 & he rigged a 6.9. Cloud came over & it sprinkled a little & totally shut it down. It even went north for about 30 minutes then it came back. Sailed two hours + on my Hypersonic 130. I am starting to love that board. Grant sailed his Hypersonic 105 for the 1st time & he was loving it. Best wind of the day came on about 5:00 as we were packing up to leave. Hope someone else got some of it.

so, i have a question. what beach exactly is sailboat beach? i was up in the area golfing for business that day and drove around the lake checking things out. i got as far as the dam and turned around. i thought about launching my kite at charleston bridge about 3:00 but wussed out becuase i'd be by myself. it was blowing a gusty 8 knots. what beach is sailboat beach? i'd like to explore that area a little....

thanks,

Mike

Sailboat beach is the closest site to the dam that you get to from the main Deer Creek access. It has picnic areas around it. It generally has a little better wind, but a shorter reach--
