ASAConsistent 10 kn winds with underlying gusts of 6 kn. Beautiful sunny day after a big winter storm. Decided to take 2 hours out of the afternoon, run to the lake and give her a go in much 🥶 temps. Bit of a bucking bronco getting through the channel and waves going over the tow rail decided to turn around and head back with it being so late in the day. Hypothermia risk for sure. Overall, a confidence booster for sailing solo Sunny skies, 3’ waves and 40 degrees on the lake, 47 degrees at the marina (in the sun)

A spontaneous trip out to the GSL to nab some leftover wind from a very windy overnight event. Winds got up to 20 kts with 25 gusts. A sunny and mild day out at the lake, a bit chilly with the north winds. Consistent 5kts wind with 6kts gusts and rolling waves. Fun tacking with another boat close by and smooth jibes, wing on wing finish Mark’s first time sailing. ⛵️ Fun day!

Beautiful October day on the GSL. Went out to try and catch a day of light wind after the big temp swing and storm (which brought snow) NW / N wind 3.2-5 kts, partly cloudy skies and cool. A nice day out for Matt’s first day on the GSL.

Big anticipation of a wild wind day started off really light winds kind of different start than I thought, but it was really nice to have Alex on the boat and being his first time sailing. It was probably nice to have a chilling. Come up about 4-6 kts then shut off. Super shifty on the west side of the South Bay then some rolling waves on what they call Atlantis reef made for some interesting conditions Decided to call it with the wind shifting all around came in around 145 and then the wind picked up to 12 to 15 kn with gusts to 18 to 20

Beautiful day on the great Salt Lake with Karla. The winds came up as soon as we cast off - 7 to 9.2 kn. Had some rudder issues by leaving it in the water on the way out but fixed it after we got past the buoy line The path out is getting really shallow Overall, beautiful day

Met up with Eric (pc sail instructor) to take the J22 out for a couple hours. Seemed we nailed the wind forecast before the storms built around 3:30pm. 10-12 kts, Partly Sunny with big cumulus clouds building. Did an accidental tack at the dam due to being over powered a bit. The wind died down arround 2:45. Fun afternoon with Karla and Eric
