Hi everyone,

On Wednesday we had our first "fun sail" on Canyon Lake. Steve Steakley was the instigator of the event ... he plans to have one every Wednesday evening all summer long. I think he plans for me to buy the beer every time, too ... he and Derek are good racers, and I barely know how to sail ... I was DFL, to say the least! Anyway, it was fun! Here are some photos.

Here are Derek and Steve, circling like vultures waiting for the kill:

I got them both to get "down sun" from me so I could get a good shot ... this is the LAST time they had to look off their bows to see me!

<img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3d827b3127cce894deab86df00000001610" border=0>

Here's Derek lookin' good:

Here's Steve lookin' good:

To say they left me in their wake is an understatement ... TURDS! There they go!

<img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3d827b3127cce894de8dd6d940000001610" border=0>

The plan was to circle an island out in the middle of the lake, then head back to the marina. Here's Steve headed for the island ... yes, he missed it, but not by much!

<img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3d827b3127cce894de9d92d080000001610" border=0>

Derek and Steve both circled the island and headed back to the marina. I cheated and turned short of the island ... I still couldn't catch them! Here they are headed back on the home stretch (by now I think Steve had fired up his outboard to try to catch Derek <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle> ):

<img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3d827b3127cce894de9b0ac510000001610" border=0>

Since this was the first time I had sailed in three months (due to outboard problems and other maintenance), I stayed on the lake and sailed 'til way after dark ... I had a GREAT time. I still owe them the beer ... come and get it boys!

Realy nice shots. Its always great to have another boat along to enjoy. Just seems to make the experiance better some how.
I have a question on the boat with the sail # 2262. Is the head sail roller furling ? I ask because I notice the diference between the two boats. One has the head sail hoisted all the way to the top of the mast but #2262 does not. If she is not roller furling you might consider making an 18" long pendant and using it between the sail and the bow. This will also get the sail up off of the bow pulpit.

Hey Doug,

That's Derek ... don't give him any new ideas ... he's fast enough already!

Doug - that's a very old 100% jib that I use in heavier air - or, in this case, to give Steve a bit of a chance <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> (on Buzz's last photo I had just done 2 slow 360's to let Steve catch up so we could chat!) In some of the other pics notice the difference in heel angle between our 2 boats - and we were in the same wind (about 5 - 7 knots)!.

Buzz,

Great shots! I'm green that I couldn't make it--but I'll be there this Wednesday! Since I'll be there, you won't have to worry about coming in last. . . <img src=icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle> I'll keep my binoculars handy to keep y'all in sight.

Nice stuff! Gotta love those 3" seas! (Ours tend to run two feet with zero knots wind.)

See Dave - that's proof that not everything is bigger in Texas<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> (probably just better...)
