Our little paradise has almost 3 miles of reach to the prevailing South/Southwest winds and a 1.5 to 2 mile square main pool bid enough to set a decent course. This 1.5 to 2 mile area, compared to the other lakes raced on from Texas to Iowa, is right at or slightly larger than average. Courses set near land benefit from higher pressure, courses set too close suffer from nasty shifts <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
