Head to Lighthouse Landing Sailing School on 160,000-acre Kentucky Lake and learn how to move under the power of wind and water.</p>
<p>“If it’s blowin’ I’m goin’,” says Joe Viterisi, a onetime sailing instructor, as he leans out over the 85-degree water from his catamaran, which can hit speeds of 25 miles per hour. “I’m riding the wind – and silently.” Most days are plenty breezy enough for sailing on Kentucky Lake, and without ocean waves, even the most dedicated landlubber can sail without losing their lunch. </p>
<p>The rig of choice at Lighthouse Landing is the milder (five to six miles per hour) Colgate 26, the same sailboat used for instruction at the U.S. Naval Academy. You can take classes lasting from two hours to four days, and you’ll learn boat and sailing terminology, knots, safety and, of course, how to sail the boat. If you already sail, rent a boat and fish for smallmouth and largemouth bass and explore the lake’s many coves where you’ll have a good chance of seeing bald eagles, ospreys and great blue herons. </p>
<p>“Kentucky Lake is the best sailing between the Great Lakes and the Gulf (of Mexico),” says owner Marty Colburn, adding that you can sail anywhere in the world from Kentucky Lake via the Tenn-Tom (Tennesse-Tombigee) Waterway (<a href="http://www.tenntom.org" target="_blank">www.tenntom.org</a>), a U.S. Army Corps inland water corridor. Marty has some clients who summer in Kentucky and winter down South. Then there are those who take their adventure up a notch: “We’ve got some that don’t come back.”</p>
<p><strong>Where it’s at:</strong> About three hours from Louisville; take the Western Kentucky Parkway to where it ends at I-24. Go west about 11 miles to exit 31; turn south on KY-453 and travel about three miles to Lighthouse Landing on your right.</p>
<p><strong>Contact:</strong> <a href="http://www.lighthouselanding.com" target="_blank">www.lighthouselanding.com</a> or (270) 362-8201</p>
<p><strong>Digs:</strong> Lighthouse Landing has a guest room and lakeview cottages ($85/night and up); or camp at the nearby U.S. Army Corps’ Canal Campground ($16/night and up, score site number 6 if you can), <a href="http://www.recreation.gov/reservationNavigation.do?action=Campground&contractCode=NRSO&parkId=371067&stateCode=KY&areaNameToBook=CANAL%20(KY)" target="_blank">www.recreation.gov</a> or (270) 362-4840</p>
<p><strong>Grub:</strong> Avoid the grandma kitsch and get an outdoor table at Patti’s, <a href="http://www.pattis-settlement.com" target="_blank">www.pattis-settlment.com</a> or 888-736-2515 </p>
<p><strong>Cost:</strong> Lessons run $100-$695 per person, sailboat rentals run $125/half day-$180/full day ($500 deposit)</p>
