Same, I go where ever she blows...........
Wind.....
Looks a nice spot. I take it being in that area of Northern America, the lake freezes over in winter ?. Do you have wild temperature ranges like New York or Chicago ?
I have a few spots, depending on the season. All are a 45min - 2hr drive. Google earth is busted on my computer, so here are google map links instead:
Summer (B&J, crash and bash, freestyle, wannabe back end wave sailing etc):
www.google.com.au/maps?ll=-34.848438,138.476455&spn=0.001219,0.00119&t=h&z=20 (the 2nd most windiest place in Adelaide metro. cool crew, easy parking, Noonies..)
maps.google.com.au/?ll=-34.07803,137.543893&spn=0.003479,0.004758&t=h&z=18 (very reliable seabreezes)
maps.google.com.au/?ll=-34.424709,137.922803&spn=0.006929,0.009516&t=h&z=17 (this place blows it's **** off)
Winter (Slalom):
maps.google.com.au/?ll=-34.785554,138.480515&spn=0.00345,0.004758&t=h&z=18 (the flattest water I have ever sailed. Winter northerlies)
maps.google.com.au/?ll=-35.513732,138.797481&spn=0.000855,0.00119&t=h&z=20 (any direction that's not east. Very reliable frontal winds)
maps.google.com.au/?ll=-35.312175,139.189911&spn=0.006855,0.009516&t=h&z=17 (Boggy !. If the winds not up, then stand in front of the fire and gas it)
I have no fear with tools flooding my spots. I am one, and most crew won't sail there anyway LOL :)

It is a nice spot .....from May 15 (best) to Oct 15 (brrrr!). Unfortunately , yes winter is ugly.
Once the ice is 3 feet + they open the ice bridge and it's a good short cut to "up north".
Winter = 2 weeks in Bonaire or Margarita= $$ spent

Not too many around here either. I'll see maybe 3-4 other guys out when I go. A popular spot for people in the Montreal area is across the border in New York state on Lake Champlain. Nice southerlies in the fall, before the water drops below 15C.
