OK. Maybe Bob Dylan didn’t have Lake Lanier in mind when he wrote those lyrics. Maybe.
But for sailors, windsurfers and those who took a wrong turn rafting down the Mississippi, knowing which way the wind blows on Lake Lanier is of great concern.
Don’t ask me how, but the folks at WindAlert have a handy, dandy website you can click to see a graphic of wind direction and wind speed at various points on Lake Lanier. It’s cool … even if the closest you come to “sailing” is cruising for weekend yard sales.
