Sail 116 - Sunday Morning - Sept 27th

Tim brought his down again. Tom joined in and all three of us sailed in some fairly heavy weather.

 

Top Speed 6.9mph

Avg Speed 4.6mph

Travelled 11.4miles

 

Side by side.

 

It is not often I get behind my boat and have my hands free.

Same boat, different angle.

 

Tim and Tom ...

 

 

A sailboat has to heel to get someplace. At some point, the more you heel over, the less power you will derive from the sails as the air does not go past the sail, but up and over.

 

 

 

 

A flock of waterfowl way out here. The really stuck together.

 

More seagulls.

 

The Lake City Marina Offices.

 

Anything unusual? This fellow was using a boatson's chair and was raised to the top of the mast to repair something.

 

Time to go home.

Later ...
