In the water at last. |
It's not a place. It's a state of mind. |

Getting the sail raised. She will float in a teaspoon-full of water.
Probably about 4 to 6 inches here. |
Right side of picture. What's wrong?? Oh no! Bow up in the air.
She's taking on water at the stern??? Disaster????? |
No. Just the 230 pound skipper in the back of the boat... Had to re rig the mainsheet and do some last minute rearanging. Went from a 3 part sheet to 2 part sheet cuz the rope was too short. |
All adjustments made and in about 7 inches of water with the board up it was squirrely
to say the least but I'm off. Pictures taken from the chase boat under
power. Edna did a great job getting the photos you see here.
Heading out to sea was on a run with the offshore breeze but with the board
up manouveriing was tricky, specially since this was my first time out and I hadn't
sailed in about 10 years. Where's the deep water? |
