At Huntington Lake, CA, Day 1
We spent some time sailing the boat around on Huntington lake. Not much to report, other than it’s a wonderful place to sail. Winds 10-15. Folks say the winds are lighter than normal because the valley is so hot right now: 105° F. I did take the GPS along and the track is here. I’m not going to use it during the High Sierra or the NACR, since its skirting too close to the rule we have about not using any electronics except time pieces and compasses. True, I’m not using it during the race, since I only look at the data afterwards, but unless I ask the class measurer for an interpretation, which I don’t want to bother with right now, I don’t feel comfortable doing it. For non-sanctioned races, there’s no problem.
