Where did all the water go!!?? I walk in the depths of the lake
Lake Bala has an essential role, keeping local homes from flooding in rainy times, so they often empty the lake when they know bad weather is coming. This allows the lake to then absorp the rain so it doesn't break the river's banks both up and down stream. Thats all well and good but is this good for sailing!! Add to this super windy conditions blowing almost 20 mph with 30+ gusts and it doesn;t look good for sailing today. So I took the opportunity to play with my Anemometer and to walk in places that are normally 6 feet under water! 00:00 Where did all the water go? 00:53 Checking the wind speed and assessing the weather 02:15 Assessing the slipway and conditions 04:29 Dinghy cover gets a clean 04:51 Discussing my standing 06:53 Taking a walk around the lake 10:57 Wind picks up even more 13:49 Final wind reading 15:11 A lovely boat 15:41 Going home!
