It's a Bit Choppy Out There!

There was enough wind blowing at Fern Ridge Lake to cause the water to be pretty choppy, especially for a small sailboat like this one. I watched as the sailor attempted to lower the sail when close to the dock, but the wind carried the boat farther out in the lake and he was forced to sail back, not a day I would want to be out there in that sailboat.

Very cool shot with the fluttering sail and the textures of the water. "V"

Shallow lakes can be quite choppy in windy times. Well done. V

A grey windy day. sometimes it is refreshing to be outdoors in that kind of weather.

Yikes, I don't think I'd want to be out there in that! Still, a great capture of the choppy action.

Super fun photo Vern, but like you, I will stay on dry land.

Guess there was a few moments of feeling anxious, pleased he made the right decision, nice catch of the action.

'Sorry! I got out of the Coast Guard 48 years ago ('still have my tattoo, though) or I'd have offered to help him.
