The A cat is four minutes away from home on Lake Spokane, a 1/2 mile wide reservior that warms up pretty quickly, and gets good prevailing southwesterlies spring and fall. The F18HT lives on Couer d'Alene Lake, just over the border in ID. Half an hour from work on those windy afternoons that I can break away( although it's one and a quarter hour home at sunset). Flight Risk is on Flathead Lake in NW Montana, and once summer high pressure sets in an kills the local winds for the summer, I head there(a 3 and a half hour drive) every weekend for dependable wind. It's a big, deep mountain lake that generates reliable thermals mornings and at sunset. Gorgeous too!
