Evanston IL Is Called Heavenston For A Reason

This afternoon I decided to take a stroll over to the Northwestern Campus and the beach south of it for a little exercise, camera in hand. It is really nice, about 50 degrees, slightly overcast but the water was rocking. I took a bunch of photos which will share a bit later but I got a sort of funny video. The people I saw were not going to give up on taking a Sail boat out no matter what. Below the photo is a video please laugh with me and watch what happens when you try to sail on a windy day. Can't blame them for trying, right?

That is some crazy wind and waves. I would have never guess that was in IL

Hi Noah -- I'm assuming the sailors were younger, right?

Hello Noah,  Thanks for sharing with us here in the rain.  We had rain this afternoon so no outside work got done today.

Hi Noah, The efforts of the little sail boat was like the little engine that couldn't,lol.  When Mother Nature says NO it is of little use to fight her.

Tell me about it William Johnson You could not see as close up as I could because of the YouTube Resolution but these people were really struggling.

Beautiful day but not if your sail is up before you're past the wave break!

Well they did keep trying but looks like the wind won out. It sounded pretty blustery in your video and if it was 50 degrees it would have been a bit chilly for me!

Noah,

The lakes can get very windy... Those students must have a great time regardless, just for the stories they could tell.  A

I don't think I would try that, Noah.  Sure was a pretty day and the video is great.

Noah, I've had my share of trying to launch during rough weather.  Though, never in Heavenston.

Noah, No, I would not do that. My brain would tell me that attempting it would be an exercise in futility.  At least they got a workout in their attempt.
