Spinaker Run

Here is a short video clip of us sailing with the spinaker sail. The wind was very light but we were sailing as fast as the wind speed. Great Fun!!

Photos of awning

Here are a couple of photos of the shade awning I made for the boat. It keeps the temperature about 10 degrees cooler inside. You can walk on the deck under the awning in your bare feet also. Really needed for those 100 degree days here in Texas.

Flooded Lake Texoma

With all of the rain we have had in Texas and Oklahoma the lake has filled up very quickly. The normal pool level is 619 feet. The lake is now at the top of the flood pool and has started to go over the spillway at 640.5 feet. Here are some pictures taken around the marina. Some of the pictures were taken from the deck of the Cedar Mills Yacht Club. The floor of the yacht club is 742.63 feet.

To get across the flooded road we had to pull are selves over in a small dinghy.







Water is up to the roof of the restaurant.








The water is up to the marina office steps.








These two photos were taken from the patio of the Cedar Mills Yacht Club. Water is up to the first step.
