5-2-12 Dam East Coles Creek Windsurfing Carlyle Lake Illinois
Maiden voyage of the new 2012 8.2 Hellcat! Conditions: 'Gentlemanly Planing Thru Stiff Ripples' to 'Blast-O-Jam 5000'. Winds SW to SSW. Here showing one of several non-stop planing runs from the Carlyle Sailing Association to my launch spot back at Dam East, got to be a 2 mile trip each direction. Very special blasting conditions out here in SW air. Got about 10 or so of these reaches in before died down and went off to Coles Creek to finish windsurfing out the day with the afternoon crew. Unfortunately battery died quickly after reaching Coles Creek, good shots of launch site tho (and of Jay zippin' by me on his longboard!). More details: Dam East

Tubing at Carlyle Lake, IL
Noah and Jonah went tubing for their first time on Carlye Lake, IL.
Carlyle Lake is the largest man made lake in Illinois. We had a great. We had a picnic, swam and played on the beach and of course went tubing.
Jonah was the only one to wipe out and bounce off the tube.
Carlyle lake has camping, a nice shaded picnic area and a roped off beach for people to swim.
You can also bring your bikes and go for a bike ride on their paved path. The path takes you on top of the damn and it has some great views of the lake.
