Well, the water has receded enough, and Lake Travis is open. I went sailing twice this week. Tuesday evening I dodged some storms in my Ensign, and only saw one other sailboat.

This morning I went solo on my NACRA 5.5 sloop and had the whole lake to myself in single trap winds and no chop. Beat the h*** out of going to work.

Too bad the motorboat ramps can't stay underwater longer, and we just have a sailboat-only lake till fall!
