The 14th - 15th were perfect wind and weather days on lake Ontario. I raced in the Lake Ontario Short Handed Race Series, #2 on Saturday and #3 on Sunday. I am in the Double Handed Spinnaker Fleet but raced solo.
It never fails to amaze me how even 10 miles from shore or any object there can be a wind hole. One minute you are sailing along in 4 - 6 kts of steady breeze, the spinnaker pulling nicely, then in a matter of a few feet you enter the hole. The apparent goes straight forward, caused by the boat speed, the spinnaker blows back and wraps around the forestay - mast - shrouds, and the main rises to center. A few hundred feet later you drift out of the hole and the wind is back.
