Second long sailing trip in 2014

We spent a week at Skiatook Lake in Oklahoma.   For my birthday, my wife surprised me with two 2 day seminars in Painting workshops with Jerry Yarnell who has the paint instruction show 'Paint This'.

His studio is just miles from Skiatook Lake so we drug Galactica to Skiatook.

I painted with Jerry in the morning and early afternoon while Angie relaxed and read.  In the afternoon, we'd head out and sail until sunset.  It was wonderful!

Temperature was around 100 degrees but the cool clear water felt incredible.  It was a good trip:

I'll Post a blog about the antics at Mark Twain.  In 2014, I served as the Commodore for the Mark Twain Lake Sailing Association.   To shake things up, do something different and try to promote more participation from existing members and add to our membership ( 7 new boats joined the fleet in 2014), I came up with Bahamarama.

We renamed coves to Bahamas Island names and set up challenges.   I'll explain more in another post.   Here is the annual video from 2014:
