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.

If you have followed my blog you know that we are in two active sail boat clubs on the lake. We were out at the lake Labor day weekend and it looked like a ghost lake. Typically you would see several sailboats and a lot of motorboats out on the water. We saw maybe three motorboats, a couple of jet skis and NO sailboats on the lake.

We have a Catalina 22 which is a relatively small sailboat. We have the retractable keel and keep it at Conroe Yacht Club on dry ground. Our friends with the larger boats have had to find creative ways to get their boats off the water.

I expect it is going to be several years before the lake is back to normal. We will miss our sailboat races but in the grand scheme of things people having water to live with is more important.

Please pray for rain in Texas. It is going to take a lot of rain to get us back to normal levels.

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 the rain.  Typically at this time of the year they look brown and dull and we look green and lush but that is not the case this year.  Again trying to find a positive out of our drought we do have a lot of wind so consider coming out to join us on Thursday nights.  You don't have to own a boat to participate people are always looking for crew.  I help on the committee boat and my husband crews.  For more information visit Lake Conroe Sailing Associations website.

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!

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 plan for next year. If you would like more information about our sailing club this would be a good time to attend.

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.

Copyright © 2010 Marchel Peterson, All Rights Reserved. *Friday Photo - Clouds to sail with at Lake Conroe!!*

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.

One of the many things we love about Spring is the accessiblity to Lake Conroe.  You don't have to live on the lake to sail on the lake.

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 the Spinnaker Run so the spinnakers were only up for a short time. 

If you would like more information about joining Lake Conroe Sailing Association visit the Lake Conroe Sailing Association's website.  Membership is a deal at $35 a year. You don't have to own a sailboat to join. Every Thursday evening (weather permitting) we have a sailboat race starting at the lighthouse. Come join us (like I said you don't have to own a sailboat); someone is always looking for crew.
