I went out yesterday afternoon and thought a few photo's would be nice to post. It was very sunny around 55-60 degrees - wind from the North 5-10 knots.

Heading out going wing on wing:



Making 2.7 knots down wind. Great relaxation therapy:


A view to the clouds:


Head up wind for the leg back to marina:



Another view to the sky:


Making 3.6 Knots up wind:


Nice to have second hand on the wheel (never complains about the angle of heel or too much wind):


Hope you enjoy. I sure did!!



One last parting shot:

Very very nice pictures.
You need to take another photo of the map on your GPS the one shown I can't make out where you are.
What is your auto pilot hooked up to?

Paul,
I don't have any clearer pictures of the GPS. I was sailing in [url="http://www.oceangrafix.com/o.g/Charts/All/NOAA-Nautical-Chart-Olympia-Harobr-and-Budd-Inlet.html"]Budd Inlet[/url] the Inlet north of Olympia. My marina is at Boston Harbor on Dofflemeyer Point.

My autopilot is connected to only 12 volt power now. I still need to make up the NEMA connection to the GPS. Still on my list of things to do - someday I will get the two wires connected.

Thanx for posting the pics. How about a shot of the Lighthouse on Dofflemeyer point, and maybe the three houses to the right of it.

My sister used to own the third house (was reddish brown and looked kinda like a barn) Her husband's folks were lighthouse keepers there during WWll and through the 50's.
I did a lot of fishing and boating around Boston Harbour. I used to windsurf off the shingle beach there and up by Burrfoot park.

Here are a few more PNW sail photos. We were out on the lake yesterday and sailed near this neat barn.



Here it is from a bit further out.



The photos don't seem to show it but winds were 15-16MPH with occasional higher gusts. It was a great day of sailing!
