There are a few marinas where you can get a slip for the night, but I anchor most nights. True, there are no "hurricane holes" where you are sheltered from all winds, but there are numerous bays you can anchor in and points you can tuck behind to get shelter from the whatever wind is in the forecast. Most nights I am the only one anchored there, and in the summertime the nights are usually calm. I prefer to avoid the weekends when I go up there. The lake can get busy during the prime summer months, but weekdays are pretty quiet. On Fri, Dec 21, 2018 at 6:39 PM John Schinnerer <john@eco-living.net> wrote:
Sounds awesome...
Are you day-sailing from a marina mostly? Or are there anchorages for overnighting? It looks like not a lot of protected water for anchorages.
Are there marinas where one can sleep aboard?
thanks, John

I've sailed all three of the north Idaho lakes and would have to say that Priest is by far my favorite. The scenery is rugged and beautiful, the sailing is great if you hit the right summer weather pattern, the nights are still and beautiful with more stars than you can imagine, and the trip up thru the Thorofare to Upper Priest Lake is the icing on the cake. If you have access to previous issues of Small Craft Advisor, there is a story I wrote about Priest Lake that was published in Issue #44.

Try the lakes in N. Idaho, Couer D'Alene, or Priest, or Pend

A bit further, but fresh water and no I-5 traffic. Steve M-15 # 335

Do add me to a list; while I’m over the hill in Yakima I’m looking forward to getting my new to me m15 over to the salt chuck as much as I can...

Welcome back! I’m on Whidbey with my M-17, Orli. Is there any interest in folks in and around Puget Sound setting up an email list? I’d love to be in contact with M-15 and M-17 sailors.
