Indian Summer Sailing

Went for an afternoon sail this Saturday with Chris V. as first mate and his partner Ken as the newest guinea pig of my sailing school.  It was a gorgeous day – sunny, not too cold, with winds that never got over 15 knots but never got below 5.  Basically, exactly what you want for a gentle afternoon of sailing.

Since Chris is planning on buying his own boat, I felt it imperative to put him in charge and relax on deck.  He showed off just how far over my boat can heel.  So for all those who have been going "did we hit 30 degrees yet?", oh sweeties, 30 degrees ain’t nothin’. 

The boat sails quite well heeled over and no one fell off and a fine time was had by all.

Chris and Ken have also raised the bar for all my other crewfolk.  You see, they showed up in matching t-shirts.  A crew that not only brought food but wore uniforms!!!!!
