Hi Fran
I am 52. Mostly go to get away and enjoy the beauty nature offers out there. I like how each time we go out conditions are always seem a little different. I have to admit I do enjoy some of the rough weather too. Right now I cant get away too long. Job and kids tie us down quite abit. When things lighten up (when the kids are on there own which may be only 3-5 yrs) I would like to go on 2-3day cruises many times a season. last summer we often went out 4 time a week and sometimes more. Usually 2-3 nights after work. Sometimes we sail at night. And often Saturday and Sunday both. Depending on our schedules I will go out 2-8hrs. Retirement years I would like to sail a week at a time. That why I am interested in Lake Michigan. I am not sure I have the savvy you do to sail the bigger waters but I sure am considering it when I get more experience and knowledge.
THis may be a dumb question. You said I could not
anchor in a storm. Is that because of water depth and or wave heigth?
Do you reef the main and try to sail in a c22? I ask that because you mentioned I would have to steer the boat.
Where do you sail out of? Speaking of
GPS. I dont have one and may not need one on Winnebago but would like to get one. Any advise is appeciated.
Bill
