After I drive to the lake in my Vanagon, I sail on Lake Arthur, Moraine
State Park, PA. (same place Craig C has his boat). There, due to wind eddy
currents caused by the topography, one can sometimes sail and change through
270 degrees of heading, but never change tack. We call it the Bermuda
Triangle ;)
