Sailing Utah's Flaming Gorge (Day 2)

The second and final day of a 2-day solo sail camping trip with my trailerable 2010 Precision 18 sailboat at the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area and on Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Utah. This episode covers weighing anchor and sailing across the reservoir in light winds in the morning, then motoring with my Torqeedo electric outboard the last stretch into the mouth of the Gorge as the wind dies. Once in the Gorge, the winds were ideal, and I spent the rest of the afternoon sailing below the sheer red cliffs of the Flaming Gorge. It was a truly wonderful sailing adventure! Being a regular Colorado high mountain sailor, this was one of the few days of the season I did not have to put a reef in my sails. Winds on the Flaming Gorge can be treacherous, and storms are known to come up fast--the forecast and weather should always be watched closely. On this late September trip, I was able to enjoy sailing the entire two days under full sails. Fall sailing in the "West" (Western United States) is usually very pleasant and I do most of my long-distance trailer sailing trips each year in the Fall.
