Re: Yellowstone "Raid"?
Yes, we're still on. Paul Breeding, myself (Johnny Walker), and a few others will be meeting Aug. 24th for several days at Coulter Bay, Lake Jackson. I believe we still have some space at a reserved tent/cabin. 'Just planning on casual sailing and good food & drink around the fire. I can be reached at 970 846-4624. Join us if you'd like! J

My wife and I will be there with my new Skiff America 20. This is a beautiful lake positioned at the base of the Teton range and only 2 hours from my home.
Anxious to meet others and see what their sailing.

That looks like a fabulous place! Was there much wind, for the sailors?

Re: Yellowstone "Raid"?
Dale,
The winds on Jackson lake are like most high mountain lakes. We had everything from a gentle breeze to gusty high wind situations. It seemed to change very quickly and without much warning. If I were sailing a Scamp on this lake, I would want cold weather clothing, including a dry suit and a complete rescue kit strapped under the veranda. I would love to go back with my new Scamp, but I would expect everything mother nature can throw at you, because that's the type of lake it is. The southern shore line offers many small protected anchorages, but give yourself a good half day to reach them. With oars and sail, one could do a lot of exploring. The southern end is definitely the most interesting from my perspective. Moran bay is breath taking and very remote. It would be an adventure for sure.

Re: Yellowstone "Raid"?
We also enjoyed the Grand Teton Raid. I'd propose for next year, a wonderful lake in Colorado - Steamboat Lake (8000'). Very suitable for the gathering in many ways, of which I will share in following posts. I suggest timing it with the scow regatta in mid-Aug. 'Love to get more SCAMPS there! Johnny
