Scary Larry's Morse Lake report

Saturday, April 30th, Whiz Kid and I had a learned day - on a lake that not every Windsurfer is familiar with: Morse Lake in Noblesville, IN. We started at 2:00 PM, rigged my new 7.0 (Areo-tech with scrim) and 135 liter F2 board I bought from Mike Alward. Winds were nothing like Sunday - guessing gusts were up to 12 mph. Over about 4 hours we shared the rig for about six runs each, until our arms got tired from holding up the sail. It was a no plane day. Doug got in the straps once. Sinking while schlogging was no problem with a 135 liter. But for us beginners . . . it was a good time.

Also, this was the first time I attempted to sail on this lake (which is very very close to my home). The best attribute about this lake is access. So far, there are two places worth noting. We went to the South Harbor clubhouse beach (on the South side of the lake). There, we parked 30 ft from the water, rigged in mowed grass, had trees to block the wind while rigging, and a sand beach. During the summer, there is a bathroom and snackstand nearby. The other access is the Morse Lake public beach on the East side of the lake.
