My first Nimpkish day. I was a bit worried about the dreaded wind shadow that I keep hearing about. But in the end it was all for nothing. The first few minutes were a bit of a slog, but not too bad, and once on the other side, it was magical. Wind was great, but there seemed to be a hole in the middle of the lake. Otherwise it was fast and furious, and somewhat uncontrolled, as I wasn't in the footstraps! Tried tacking, as as I didn't want to lose any of the precious ground I've gained upwind, but no luck. Badly misjudged my entrance back to the campground. Ended up way downwind and had to walk up. Not nearly as nice as a walk as at Nitinat.
And...never trust my wind direction/speed info...don't have a clue...
