Hi everyone, can we do a Photo Friday?

@sortofblue@lemmy.nz used to post them, but I haven't seen them for ages and @Dave@lemmy.nz said it'd be okay.

Theme: Something you like!

Christmas 2023 on Lake Taupo

[–] liv 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

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.
