Fall 2013 CJ Strike

Fall 2013 Southern Idaho Sailing Association race on CJ Strike Reservoir near Mountain Home, Idaho.
Always a fun mix of trailerable boats with SISA.


The winds always seem to be pretty good at CJ Strike.

2013 low water

A super calm and warm high pressure system the weekend before Halloween. An overnight kayak trip to check out the shallow water areas with the very low lake level this year.

Impressive to see the entire lake like a sheet of glass.

Not ideal sailing conditions!
