Day sail!
Fifteen to twenty knots of wind and a peak speed of 9.9 knots, Boy did I have a great day? We only did about 25 N miles in all, but how we did it was what mattered. We started off with a few "white lambs" and out on a broad reach and on the way in one tack and a reach and home. I`m never so happy as when I`m sailing. Having spent so many years single handing and delivering sail boats I find it difficult now, not to use the auto helm to get out of the harbour (while I used to stow and place the fenders and tidy mooring lines etc) as I had some help on this trip. As you can see from the look on my face I really enjoyed myself.

Hi Jamie! thanks for the visit, I am! the wind was right and the sea too, We did really well, mind you she does sail a bit like a (sailing) dingy though, very skittish, as can be seen from by "limp wristed" hold on the wheel, :o))Love your cap rail improvements K.J. will look even more "super" than she has done in the past.
