It's a red Red Raider! Walt and Kathy trailered their recently acquired Buccaneer from Lubbock, Texas, to Heron Lake at the beginning of the month and enjoyed the cool nights and varied sailing conditions at the lake.
To Pat, Mac, Beth, George, and all of the other NMSC members who helped make our week at Heron Lake wonderful, thanks! thanks! thanks!
The lake was beautiful and fun to sail and the campsites couldn't have been better. As beginning sailors, the helpful suggestions that we received from all of you allowed us to learn more in a week than we could have learned in a summer on our own. And, best of all, the hospitality made us feel like we were among old friends (which we now consider all of you to be).
I have uploaded our photos of the trip to

But, the pictures just don't do justice to a beautiful lake and the memories that we carried home.
Among the photos, you will find a Google Maps image of our local sailing site, Lake Alan Henry. I was out Friday with my sailing buddy, George (there are other sailors in Lubbock), and we discovered that the area in front of the dam is great for sailing with consistent 20 mph winds on that day. Ya'll come visit us some time and let us return the hospitality that you showed us.
Thanks again,
Walt & Kathy
