Lake Carlyle, IL - about an hour west. They have a regatta coming up in early October.

I agree! I was transferred to St Louis for a couple of years and Lake Carlyle was by far the best I could find in a couple hour drive from STL.

Not for sure yet but it looks like Minneapolis might be a better venue for sailors. They do more sailing in Minnesota than they do in California !!! I don't know !!! That just might be a little too close to MBounds !!! :lol:

We'll see !!!

Minneapolis is still a 10 hour drive from me. If you get through Chicago unscathed.

I know. It was 40 below two winters ago but at least I won't have to worry about sailing in it !!! :roll:

Plus, the summers are just about as hot as the winters are cold !!! :lol:

I can remember the thrill I use to get every time I would head for the beach when I first started sailing. I wanna get that back and it looks like I might just get that in Minneapolis !!! I've never seen water that flat in 10 to 15 knots !!! :cry:

Gonna go peek at the regatta in IL at the beginning of next month and see if that changes my mind !!! :wink:
