WIND AT LAKE MEADE

Connie and I just about got caught out in some wind, but we watched it develop and did not put the kayak out in the water.  And develop it did.  Gusts were over 40mph they said and we were really glad we did not launch the "blue canoe"!  Yesterday evening and all or at least most of the night it blew to where we were concerned about tipping over.  Of course we were parked where it is pretty exposed as is everyone out here.  This morning it was not to bad but NOAA radio said it was going to start up again mid morning and it did.  So today has been a mostly reading day and watch the whitecaps out on the lake.  Did go for a nice walk again this morning before it got to windy. 

Saw the wind start to come up just as we got the kayak unloaded and down to the water.  Watched it for a few minutes and said there was no way we were going to put in.




Waves breaking on the rocks by our camp.

You can see the rocks we have piled up on our mats to help hold them down.  We even dropped the jacks to the ground to help stabilize the camper.

Whitecaps all over.
