Completed a neat cross country trip to a lake in the Oregon Cascades on 31-OCT. Went for a dip, the water was about 45F and there was snow at about 5000 MSL in the foothills. Not for everyone. But, it was fun for me. I'm half polar bear.
Green Peter Lake, a wonderful day, 31-OCT-2017:
Just enough wind so a "Glassy water" approach was not needed. Surface definition good:
I want to be a cowboy baby:
Water very clean:
Like another planet. Too good to be true?
Weather transformed from a 50 knot gale to perfect in 30 hours!
Let's go from 44N down past the Tropic of Cancer to 21N....
...and start planning an informal offshore trip this weekend off Honolulu. Air is 85F and water 79F, great trolling weather. The boat received new bottom paint, zincs, and two new house batteries last weekend. She launched today and is in her new berth (800 pier is under renovations) near the Ilikai Hotel. If any airplane drivers are in town, PM me. No charge just bring sun protection. And be ready to fight a fish or two.
Fishing boat looks small next to the sailboats in the new home:
