Winter-time Sailing

It was another sunny day in Salt Lake City. I couldn’t resist the 60-mile ride from my house out the the Great Salt Lake Marina. It’s a flat ride and about half of it is on the Interstate 80 frontage road (read: almost no traffic).

So, off I went at about noon. I wasn’t sure I had the fitness for a 60-mile ride, especially with the brisk 15 mile per hour headwind, but I was determined to get there.

By 2 PM, I was there. I expected the marina to be a pretty quiet place in February, but I was wrong. I could see a number of sailboats on the horizon.

After checking out the boats on the lake, I checked out the marina. I found this poster outside the restrooms:

After a half hour at the marina, I headed home…without any mice. I made the return 30-mile trip in an hour and a half. Ya gotta love a 15 mile an hour tailwind!
