it's true about cachuma. they will kick you off the lake if they happen to
catch you upside down. its no fun to travel 4 plus hours to dodge fisher
price lake police. i'd rather do whiskeytown or clearlake twice. i
probably won't attend cachuma after last year's experience, unless they
change their rules about swimming.

The only other "issue" with Lake Cachuma, and it isn't really an issue
Is that you MUST have current registration stickers on your boat in the
Dept of Boating and Waterways required locations. On the boom ain't
good enough. If you don't want stickers on your boat, get some clear
mylar to hold the stickers, and tape them to the hull with clear tape.
Not legal, but the eagle eyes at the entrance booth most likely will not
catch you.
Cool things about Lake Cachuma.
Casa La Boehm
Cheap Camping
Solvang (?)
Big wind
Warm air
flat water
challenging tactics and race course when the "triangle" is set. Think
of a tight reach, followed by a tighter reach and more breeze after the
jibe, with a peninsula as a leeward obstacle, turning into a mostly
straight run with dying breeze.
