I'm underwhelmed by anything I find in "Sail", in accuracy, depth and content . . . I would like to hear more about Kentucky Lake. How long is the season? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard Audsley" <haudsley@tranquility.net> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 7:44 PM Subject: Trailer Sailor Special One of those 15 great places to sail was Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. It's not! There may not be 10 sailboats on the entire lake. Powerboats >40' rule. Fishing tournaments are held at night to avoid the drunks, traffic and boat chop. A lady drowned last summer when the bow of the 28 footer she was riding in buried into the face of a steep boat wake and sank. However.....if you have $300,000 to spend on a 3 engine Scarab over 50', the scantily clad lasses in Party Cove might pay attention to you for a few hours. Oooops....I forgot....you better also bring the $1,000 per day it takes to fuel one of those beasts on the 50 mile poker runs. If you want to go to Lake of the Ozarks, better wait until late October when the trees are turning. 100's of coves to anchor in....and maybe half of the 100's of restaurants on the water might still be open then.....and you have a good chance of actually living through it. One really good lake in the Midwest that was left out was Kentucky Lake. How about a 30 to 40 mile beam reach on one tack? The Chesapeake trip described in the article sounded a lot like the 2001 CBC. We were at those exact same places. Howard
