Thanks Mary, for defending us out here in the Great Plains. You must remember your trip out here in 1990 with Rick & Randy Smyth for one of your seminars and an intro to KS winds.(3rd windiest in the nation) I admit, I often refer to our Lakes as "Big Mudholes" but what the heck, there are plenty of them and lot's o' wind! The key is wearing the right pair of sunglasses to give the water that turquoise hue, click you're heels and pretend you're in the Caribbean.

Actually, the western part of the state has a few lakes with crystal clear waters, great rock formations, no trees and great wind.

The silver lining in all this, KS is not a destination place(duh), a well kept secret in my opinion. Lot's of big sky, no huge crowds, and easy accessibility to wind & water. Wind Energy in Kansas

Happy sailing
