The saying holds true for the beginning of this summer season. To best describe the weather here on the waterfront only one word is necessary; variable. We have seen it all so far, from beautiful sunny days with a slight breeze to torrential downpours with severe winds whipping across Lake Champlain. The weather we have seen at the sailing center truly shows us both extremes of the spectrum, along with everything in between.
The wrath of mother nature was initially seen a few Sundays ago when an extremely intense wind storm slammed us here on the waterfront. Never before in my life have I seen winds so strong and waves so immense. Our docks were hit pretty hard and there were some waves that challenged the persistence of our moored keelboats, but we made through. Comparing that day to one we have today, with beautiful warm weather with perfect green flag winds we are able to allow complete access to all that Lake Champlain has to offer. Through all of the extremely variable conditions, the Community Sailing Center is committed to provide as much fun and accessibility to the lake as mother nature will allow.
