Hi Paul, We motored from Redington Shores, FL north on the intracoastal to downtown Clearwater. Anchored overnight then sailed the intracoastal north to Dunedin causeway. From there we sailed out into the Gulf and south to Johns Pass in Madiera Beach, FL. Once inside, we motorsailed back to Redington. The early scene was me trying to record the speed on the GPS, 7.2 but it was tough trying to helm and film in the conditions. We had one roundup/stall on the Gulf, but the steering system made the boat much more tame than previously. I was on full main and 30% jib. We needed to tack late in the day as the coast has a pronounced point and Johns Pass began getting smaller!

A day sail doesn't seem complete if you don't see dolphins.
IIRC, it was very windy this past weekend!

Good job with vid. Always seems hard to capture the moment when on a boat. You did a good job with your partner and the dolphins being a good point of reference.
