sailing: Drought at Lake Conroe!! - 09/22/11 10:15 PM
The pictures above were taken Labor Day weekend. I was going to post them right away but then the wild fires started and after that the lake issue seemed trivial. Now that the fires are over I am back to posting about Lake Conroe. Lake Conroe is a back up water supply for Houston and with the severe drought we have been in they have had to start taking water out of Lake Conroe. It is so sad to see the lake being depleted but at the same time I understand why it has to be done.

sailing: Sunset at Lake Conroe LCSA Thursday night sailboat race!! - 08/14/11 09:46 PM
Lake Conroe Sailing Associations Thursday night races are continuing despite the hot temperatures and the drought. Typically in the summer our winds die down and lots of races get canceled due to lack of wind. Not so this year! It has been an odd year we have had very little rain but lots of wind. I am from Kansas and this year feels like Kansas on steroids.
Due to the intense heat we are now starting the races at 7:00 rather than 6:00. At this point most people can still get their boats out for the Thursday night races but … (30 comments)

sailing: Lake Conroe Sailing Association Thursday night sail boat races!! - 07/15/11 02:22 PM
Lake Conroe Sailing Association's Thursday night races are in the middle of the season and we are still experiencing plenty of wind. Typically in the summer our winds die down and lots of races get canceled due to lack of wind. Not so this year!
The wind is the good news but the bad news is that we are not experiencing any rain. We have lived here for almost 15 years and this is the driest we have ever seen our area. My sister lives in the Denver area and for some odd reason they seem to be getting all … (21 comments)

sailing: Sailboat Wishing - Happy Valentine's Day!! - 02/14/11 02:14 PM
In all honesty we are only a couple of months away from the sailing season here in Spring TX but I am ready. For us it has been an unseasonably cold winter. The temperatures are back up to a seasonable 70 degrees and it is giving me sailboat fever.
I took this picture last summer at one of Lake Conroe Sailing Association's (LCSA) Thursday night races. My husband crews and I help on the committee boat. One of the things I love about living in Spring is the accessibility to Lake Conroe. We can be at the lake in 30 … (32 comments)

sailing: Conroe Yacht Club - Toys for Tots Regatta - December 2010!! - 12/05/10 10:15 PM
Yesterday was our annual Conroe Yacht Club Toys for Tots sailing regatta and also the official end of the sailing season. We were so blessed with INCREDIBLE weather. Yesterday it was almost 80 degrees and today 60 degrees. This is one of those regattas where you don't know what the weather is going to be like until the day of the regatta. I have memories of miserable Toys for Tots regattas. I'm a fair weather sailor and won't commit to crewing until I know the weather (lol).
We had our son ans his girlfriend as our crew which was VERY COOL. It … (7 comments)

sailing: Lake Conroe Sailing Associations finishes their racing season with lots of wind!! - 10/27/10 05:55 PM
This last Saturday was the end of our sailboat racing season for Lake Conroe Sailing Association. As you can tell from the slide show we ended the season with LOTS of wind! It was a fun race!
If you would like more information about Lake Conroe Sailing Association please visit the LCSA website. You don't have to own a boat to belong. We do have a sailboat but keep it on the other side of the lake so for these races my husband crews and I help on the committee boat.
This coming Saturday we have our annual meeting and wine tasting to … (22 comments)

sailing: Just flying by!! - 10/24/10 11:11 PM
I was taking pictures of Lake Conroe Sailing Associations last sailboat race of the season when this guy came on to my radar. We often see him flying around the Lake but this was one of my first time to get such close up pictures.

sailing: Speechless Sunday - Just waiting! - 09/12/10 11:04 PM
Just waiting for the small sail boat race at Conroe Yacht Club! I was waiting to take pictures as the sail boat racers left and saw this photo opportunity.
One of the many things we love about living in Spring is our easy access to Lake Conroe.

sailing: Speechless Sunday - Dusk Moon at Lake Conroe!! - 08/22/10 06:11 PM
I have been trying to get a decent moon shot for a couple years now. I guess I never thought of getting the dusk shot until it appeared during a sail boat race at Lake Conroe.

sailing: Friday Foto - Clouds to sail by; at Lake Conroe!! - 08/20/10 01:56 PM
This picture was taken at one of Lake Conroe Sailing Association's Thursday night races. We will be having Thursday night races through the fall. I help on the committee boat and my husband crews. We do have a boat but we don't use it for the Thursday night races. As you can see it is not necessary to have a boat to participate. If you would like information about Lake Conroe Sailing Association please visit their website.

sailing: Friday Foto- Storms A-Brewin at Lake Conroe! - 08/06/10 10:05 PM
This picture was taken a few weeks ago at one of Lake Conroe Sailing Association's Thursday night races. My husband crews and I help on the committee boat. We never know what the weather is going to be like and it can change in the flick of an eye. We ended the race early because of those weird clouds you see (I did not photo-shop this picture). As it turned out this time the clouds turned to nothing but you do have to be careful when you are on the water.

sailing: Lake Conroe Sailing Association's Spinnaker Run!! - 07/11/10 10:09 PM
One of the many things that I love about living in Spring TX is the easy access to Lake Conroe. We are members of Lake Conroe Sailing Association and these pictures are from their recent Spinnaker Run. It was a busy day at the lake. If you look to the very top you will see a row of helicopters (they almost look like bugs in the sky). Below that was a plane that was taking pictures of the sailboats flying their spinnakers. Then of course below that are the sail boats with their spinnakers.
It was a windy day at the lake the day of … (24 comments)

sailing: Happy 4th of July - picture from Lake Conroe Sailing Association boat parade! - 07/04/10 03:52 PM
This picture is actually from last years Lake Conroe Sailing Association boat parade as this years parade was canceled due to much needed rain. With the 4th being on a Sunday this year it was supposed to have taken place yesterday morning but we still had remnants from Hurricane Alex. The boat parade is one of the many activities that Lake Conroe Sailing Association has through the year. If you would like to know more please visit the Lake Conroe Sailing Association's website.
Happy 4th of July 2010!!!

sailing: Lake Conroe Sailing Association (LCSA) Thursday night sail boat races!! - 05/15/10 12:58 PM
We are members of Lake Conroe Sailing Association LCSA and our club just started our Thursday night sail boat races. These are just for fun so you don't have to have a lot of sailing skill to get involved. This was the family in sail #5841's first time to race with us; you can tell by the picture they are having fun. Wind permitting the race happens every Thursday evening with a start time of 6:15. The start line is always over by the lighthouse at Seven Coves.
Next Saturday we are having a Spinnaker Run in the morning and a Luau in the evening. … (18 comments)
