I went out yesterday and noticed the 3-7 MPH (variable) winds were affected by the puffy clouds all over the sky. Shadows that crossed the lake "picked up the pace".The problem here is we don't have variable winds. We have 3-5mph winds for a week and then maybe a front causes it to pick up for half a day. I've had to walk back across this lake in the past with a different boat. The alligators make it thrilling... I have a little paddle in the sunfish now.
Because there'd be a rubbery flavor, maybe a wetsuit discourages alligators in Louisiana?I was doing this the same week this article came out. This was the day I had to walk across the lake because of no wind.
I doubt it, I wouldn't have been out there if I'd known. I went today, supposed tobhave been around 8mph. The boats rudder works pretty good at moving the boat along, luckily. I managed to sail maybe a quarter of a mile circle and the little wind I got came at the cost of a torrential downpour. By the time I paddled back to the landing, the rain had stopped. Not the best first time, but I'm satisfied the boat is well founded. Looks like I'll have to take it to Gulfport on my weekends off if I want wind in the summer.
