SO... last Friday my brother and I were able to get away on the lake and a front was blowing in ( very unusual in Aug ) with a steady wind from the NE.. sailing upwind, and pulled up into the lee of an island... charging in and dropping the sails while approaching the beach walking calmly to the front of the boat and dropping the anchor paying out line and cleating so the boat would swing around with 2 feet of water below the keel and you could stand on the bottom off the stern... swam some and sailed upwind and did it again on another island... Then tied up the main, put away the jib and raised the cruising chute and ran downwind back to the marina between the approaching storms.

Always careful keeping the chute from wrapping over the forstay on the jibes.

Just a Great Day...

My playground...

Wow

Thanks for sharing

The GF keeps talking about docking the boat somewhere warm during the winter months, but I doubt we'd want to drive that far south just to go sailing. Those pix sure look tempting!
