Lake, schmake, you haven't lived until you've sailed a 10' Cape Dory (i.e. glorified rowboat) in the Delaware River, just down from Philadelphia. Dodging freighters and tankers in an open boat with low freeboard and bucket bailing is nothing but fun!! One hand on the tiller and the other on the sheet with occasional visits to a sandbar to jump out and bail. (usually by Little Tinicum Island [obligatory piano content - Lester, former home of that famous piano mfgr, is in Tinicum Township]) Oh, and having to lower sail _and_ mast and ROW under a railroad drawbridge back to the ramp... grrrr...
