This picture of the Lake was taken in 2009 in November, so the lake should be very similar. I panned the course to have all the upper lake covered well before dark.
Full Moon will be up around 4:30pm, so I am hoping for it to be bright out as Soleil sets, so wear your moon-screen!
There will not be an R/C boat on the lake during this adventure. This is a battle of will vs nature and bladder (no potty on a Buccaneer 18). Self sufficiency is the call of the day. There are two floating potty docks along the lake. There is no penalty for stopping at one, or dropping in at the marina for a bite. We sail past Scorpion Bay four times. I am attempting to get setup with dinner on one of my sail-bys, and maybe a hot drink or two, setup in advance. I will let you know how that goes.
