Steve Sorry for the lack of complete information. I sail on a small inland lake in LaPorte, IN called Pine lake (650 acres) the area refereed to as NWI (North West Indiana) about 60 mi East of Downtown Chicago we are on Central Time (CT) My prior sailing venue was lake Michigan out of Michigan City, Indiana on my previous boat a Pearson 23. I downsized to accommodate my family who was concerned about my sailing alone on lake Michigan. My daughter lives on Pine Lake and now everyone is happy. At 84 years of age every day sailing is added to my life span. As I plan on sailing till I am 90 I have to get in as much as I can every season. Have been able to crew on a Erickson 38 for the past 3 years for 2 weeks at a time as the owner moved his boat from Connecticut to Indiana and is now in the process of Moving it to Florida.

Have been sailing 2 x this week. Monday got blown off the lake steady 15 K gust at 23+ K rough even with a reef. Sailing today 6-9 K max hull speed 3.2 K.
Temperature fell 15 points overnight had to wear sweater and windbreaker. My season is coming to end in the next 2 weeks hauling on 10/15. Hope to get in at least the 4 more sails.
