{{A short story about the 22-24 Sep 06 weekend.}} SW Wind blowing sometimes 2-4 and sometimes 8-12 and I have a 150 Jib up. The first challenge I encountered was trying to find the Treasure Cache on Airport Island. After anchoring the boat, I tried to carry everything I would need. I started walking in from the beach I thought was closest. It was close but about the time I got close to the cache, my GPS signaled “Low Battery” and shutdown. Back to the boat for batteries. OK I get close again but could not find it. I think maybe my GPS is off. I spread out leaving my carry back marking the spot. I walk around maybe 200 ft. circle. The only thing I find is a snake about 7ft away looking at me. Carefully looking further, No cache. I go back to my bag and verify the correct GPS settings. It should be right where I am standing. Time to look harder. Found it. Back to the boat, to finish my around the island sail. Second Challenge, Sailing to Goat Island. Great downwind run after rounding point by Sinclair Marine. Thought I would drop the 150 and put up the 100. Took forever to get the sail changed with boat always wanting to sail to shore. I started looking for Bulldog and the Shark shower on the way back. I was in a few windless coves before I figured out that I would not find the Bulldog but I was determined to find the Shark Shower. Finely at 16:30 I found the shower and turned up wind again to sail back to OSYC. That shower is not easy to find. Third Challenge, Getting back to OSYC after seeing the Shark Shower. Wind really got light for last mile and then it was light as I rounded the mark to find a good anchor spot. Finely by 8PM I arrived at a cove opposite Airport Island to anchor. Forth Challenge, Sailed to Hauck;s Reef and back trying to make good time to be a Sinclair Challenge. Rail in the water sometimes, but other times sails slack with no wind. Fifth Challenge, Final destination was to be Around Airport Is. I decided to sail from OSYC up through the narrow channel then around the island so I could come around the NE side ( Not much wind on this side) to anchor, go ashore and have lunch. I had to pinch though the narrow channel with a head wind and my 150 sail still up. It was very close and with board most of the way up just in case I got in thin water, I squeaked thru. Won’t try that again. Great weekend to sail on Lake Sinclair.
