Christmas 2023 on Lake Taupo

[–] liv@lemmy.nz 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Amazing sky! I've never sailed on a lake, is it much different in feel to the sea?

[–] Username@lemmy.nz 3 points 4 months ago

Thanks! Depends significantly on the lake (size, surrounding terrain etc). Taupo can be pretty unpredictable. You’ll have no wind at all and then all of a sudden be on your side. Beautiful though and great swimming. Highly recommend!

P.S. I have also sailed very different boats in lakes vs. sea so that’s another factor to counter in.
