... Veteran's Day, Friday, November 11, 2016 ... Redfish Lake, Sawtooth Mountains, Central Idaho. The day was 65 degrees, maybe 30 degrees above normal this time of year, perfect light westerly breeze 6 to 10. Usually, the lake is frozen this time of year, with 2 to 3 feet of snow on the shoreline, and quite a bit more than that up in the higher elevation peaks in the background, which are about 11,000 feet. We pulled the Herreshoff 12 1/2 out of the Barn for one last day sail, a fitting end to another wonderful season of sailing, both in Idaho and New England with the Tartan 40, Asolare. Cheers, John
