SBX west lake

The plan: meet up with Jim at Sandbanks, sail all day, sleep, wake up sail some more.  The forecast was looking crazy with 40-50knot gusts.  Got up early and after grabbing a geocache in almonte (first to find!) I headed to Picton.

 We checked out Mac's and it was nuts...huge waves, rain, and guys barely hanging on.  We decided to test out west lake from Isaiah Tubbs resort where we had a room.  It was nuts there too, my 3.5 sail was overpowered and it was a workout just to keep things together.  Squalls came and went - first sunny, then downpour...then repeat.  We never made it back to Mac's because it seemed like suicide.  We crashed early hoping Sunday would be a little more manageable.
