It was like we were back on Lake Michigan or a rough day on lake pepin. I had a hunch the strong south winds forecast would kick up on this north south lake and I was too right.
We decided if marina would let us stay today we would not travel due to wind and possible storm, but if they were full we would make the trip, as it sounded like a typical windy st croix river day. Sure enough at 8:30am the marina said they were fully booked and we’d have to leave our spot, so we left.
Pictures and video don’t capture the full extent of the near gale force constant wind, we never really could get out of a long fetch so we got our first rough weather day with the boat, it was a good safe test for us and the boat.
The canvas kept us dry even though many of the waves threw water up to the hardtop . We estimate 3-4 foot sharp waves and NWS reported constant 22 to 33 mph winds all afternoon.
Was great to pull into Paris Landing Marina and have a smooth landing…and a martini.
