Working out the kinks at Utah Lake 3/19/2019
#9
I forgot to mention something I saw for the first time on UL. You had mentioned to Craig that you hoped the wind hadn't been a problem. Well we had wind less than 10 MPH the whole time.

At about 9:30 or so, the water had no wind ripple at all and suddenly the boat started to rock. I looked out and saw a series of slow rolling waves, like from a passing boat. I told Craig I didn't remember seeeing the boat go by, but the only place I had seen waves without local wind was on the ocean. Sometimes you would get large swells from a storm far offshore and no wind at your location.

10 minutes later the waves were still comming out of the South the wind started to pick up from that side. I'm sure those rollers were from a strong southerly wind at the south end of the lake even though we had no wind where we were at.

We left before the wind really got to our location, but when we got to Spanish the southerly wind was really blowing.

That lake is bigger than you think sometimes!
