Sailboat Wishing - Happy Valentine's Day!!

Sailboat wishing in Spring TX!!

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 to 40 minutes.

If you would like information about joining LCSA visit their website at www.lakeconroesailing.com.  It is only $35 a year for a family membership; what a deal is that!

Marchel: We have had two days of weather in the 70 degree range and folks are all over Canyn Lake. Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day.

What a beautiful photograph.  Thanks for sharing.  We are enjoying warm weather this week too, but not that warm.

Hi Marchel,

So pretty.  We have a sailing trip planned for this summer in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and I can't wait.

PAULA, This warm weather the last few days has been nice but I'm ready for those hot SUNNY days of summer.

GREG, Sailing and a bottle of wine sounds like a nice combination.

STEPHANIE, I have always been attracted by the water and there's just nothing quite like sailing.  When the engine goes off and the wind is moving you; it is so peaceful.

MARIA, UGH I don't know that I would like a balmy 40.  We are such wimps here in Texas but in all truthfulness our cold is a wet cold.

ROBERT, I had a nice Valentine's day.  I hope yours was the same.

SUSAN, Here in Texas Valentine's day is the day to start the pruning so spring is on its way.

WILLIAM, I don't know if my friend made it or not. She has a pretty good bird's eye view at her apartment though.

JUDITH, I'm ready for those dog days of summer also.

MYRL, I hope your rain has cleared up.  We had a few beautiful sunny days but then the last couple of days have been warmer but dreary.

DEBRA, It is funny when I grew up we water skied so did not want the wind and now that we sail we pray for wind (lol).

LAURA, I think sailing is a wonderful way to get away from it all.

SHEILA, I'm with you but spring will be here before we know it.

GEORGE, It has bee a YUCK winter and I'm ready for it to be over.

CARL & CEIL, I love your lake and can imagine what it was like those two beautiful days.

ANN, Sailboat fever is a fun thing to catch.

TERAL, I can't wait for the season to begin; just a few months now.

STEVE, In Colorado I wouldn't mind skipping the spring but here that would take us to straight in to 95 degree days (lol).

CHRIS, I've have a big case of cabin fever.

PATRICIA, The 70's have been appreciated but now I also want the sun.  I'm greedy (lol).

PAM, It is nice to have the nice weather.  Here a week ago we had ice.

LISA, Are you doing a bare boat trip?  We took a trip a few years ago to the Virgin Islands.  We had about 5 or 6 boats go from our sailing club.  We had 7 people on our boat.

PATRICIA, A day out on the water in our sailboat is a perfect day.

Hi Marchel,

Our friend is a captain, so it is just two families with a Sunsail charter.  We did the British Virgin Islands in 2009 and simply loved it!  What a way to go; you don't feel at all like a tourist.

Lake Conroe looks beautiful, I can see why you are anxious for boat season to begin again.  I feel the same way about bike riding...we are anxious to get our Harley back on the road.  70's sounds like Heaven...it's my favorite temp!

Hello Marchel and I have been so busy I wasn't able to view & read every ones posts. I know Valentines Day is over but there is no way I am going to let this wonderful photo get away without a feature at one of my favorite groups at AR ...
