Hey Eric, Good to see your post! Hope commodores gets some good attendance.

As far as San Luis Res it's a great place, but the reason you don't see sailboats on the upper lake is that it fires up to 40 kts in about 5 minutes, so you have to watch it. There are a series of warning lights over the dam to alert boaters of the conditions. I've heard that the sheriff will hand out steep tickets if they have to come out and rescue you and the warning lights are on.

I take the scouts out on the forebay with their fleet of 6 H16's. That's the safer option and it still howls there just not as fierce. Watch the depth if you have boards!!

Not to hijack your thread E, but you guys should make it down to the Moss Landing challenge this year. 13 Mile broad reach from SC to Moss. 3 bands, BBQ and full bar. And you should definitely come visit me in SC.
