The prevailing winds kind of roll down the lake, bounces off the shoreline in all directions.
Zero boat traffic.

When and where!?
@shanekingsley I will plant Wednesday and let you know. Actually I’ll try and keep a log!
EDIT: never mind just saw you already launched
would’ve brought my young lad.
20 kts in Lake ontario yesterday, had the 30ft out and running with just a headsail averaged 5.9. Teaching the new dog to sail so keeping the boat flat is key. She's getting better about just staying on the low side (cant fall off a bench if your already on the down side) and she doesnt empty the beer cooler like my other crew. Today was 6-8kts and perfect.
5 of us sailed the marbelhead 50's after dinner, I got a horrible start, then tagged a mark in a tight rounding and had to make do over. Learning curve is steep. Guy brought a 36" RC tugboat to use as a committee boat to set a start line. This is going to be a deep rabbit hole LOL

What lake? I'm on Knowlton, and get the same at the south end. Windsurfing was a challenge, but you sure learned how to adapt to changing winds.
I think he has his own lake.

Autoflowers will be fine, they finish in about 90 days. I find they do better in pots -- you can spin the pots while training.
Photos are a bit late. They should be 75 days old now and plants should be 3-4' tall. They switch to flowering mid august, so you only have about 50 days of vegetative growth, in perfect conditions you'll hit 3-4' tall and 2'diameter before they switch to flowering. Still doable, but the yield will be a small fraction of the plan't capability - not hard to get 8+' tall and 6' diameter with good sun and horticultural practices. Good luck!
I put them in tomorrow and we have sunlight from 9am-7pm so we will see how it goes....if not then next season will be another opportunity.
