I ran across this old photo recently and thought I'd share it with you. I told you I'm an old-timer about sailing. This is my friend Paul and I sailing a raft we made at Little Cultis Lake in the Cascade Mountains in E. OR, near Bend, OR. I'm the good-looking one doing the sail trim; Paul is at the helm. The photo is from the summer of 1950 so I would have been nine or ten years old. Paul, being a year younger, was obviously just a little kid. We never gave a thought that the raft might not do well upwind so we sailed across the lake and it was a long walk back. Yes, we got in trouble.
Paul and I still sail, hunt, and fish together, still lots of time sitting around a campfire telling lies. We did the regatta at Whiskey Town Lake just before covid; we didn't win that one but had a great time, which couldn't be helped.
