Scott Dunsworth Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I had my heart set on Lake Cumberland sail, but after Brents insight to the dam problem I have had second thoughts. Thanks Brent I would have gone down there not knowing about the problem. Checked out the Corps web site on Cumberland's problem and its not going to be fixed easily or very soon. All tho the ramp issue's should be mostly resolved before summer. I have 10 days off starting May the 1st. I am proposing a messabout sail on Kentucky Lake the weekend of May the 5th. I think I will go down for most of the 10 days see if I can get sick of sailing and living on a 19 foot boat. ( like that could happen) There is a nice marina on the north end of the lake. Lighthouse landing is a nice sailboat marina with electric, showers,laundry. They also have camping but I haven't checked that out. The town of Grandrivers is within walking distance with some nice restaurants. I will put in at Lighthouse landing and rent a slip part of the time and anchor out part of the time. How bout it anyone interested? Scott Quote
Gordy Hill Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Hey guys! The first weekend in May is the small boat mess-about in Cedar Key Florida. Rooms start about $70 or so and the campground I stayed at this year was about $20 a nite. There is absolutely no organization, but just a cloud of boats of all sizes. Be advised you'll really need a good chart. When the tide goes out there's nothing but mud.....nice mud if you're into that sort of stuff. Quote
Howard Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Scott.. I live about 5 hours from Kentucky Lake. If you go, I'd like to drive down for a day on the lake with you. Love to see what that boat can do. Howard Quote
Charlie Jones Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Scott- be sure your motor is working. The harbor master at Lighthouse jumped all over Laura and I for sailing the sharpie in and out- told us there was NO SAILING ALLOWED inside the marina. :shock: So we paddled in and out the rest of the time we were there.

Travis Votaw Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I'd go, but I already have a trip planned for that time to Lake Texoma for the spring BOOTS get-together http://boots.coffeebythebay.com/index.html I do plan to go the next PIKL get-together on Kentuck Lake, though - just don't know when it will be yet.

Kidd Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 That could possibly be doable for me. I would love to see your boat. I still want to sail that lake. Quote
Scott Dunsworth Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Gordy I would love to do that but I already have two, thousand mile trips planned for this year. There comes a point where the wife will start to get real noisy! Howard you will be most welcome. Thanks Charlie Travis I would love to get together some time but I understand we just can't make them all. Kid that would be great. Scott Quote
