Went sailing last weekend


I went sailing last weekend. It was great! I hadn't been sailing in at least two months. Every spare moment that I've had, I have been working on getting Morgan ready. I finally decided that I just needed a weekend to relax. I got to the marina, took off the sun shade, and was on the lake in no time. The wind was blowing about 15 mph from the north, and I was heading south. It was the fastest sailing I have done on Morgan. We stayed between 6.5 and 7.5 mph all the way to Duncan Bay, with a max speed of 7.9. That's pretty good for a 25 footer. Then on Saturday I did not even pull up the anchor. I just read, played solitaire (with real cards) the only true way to play. Took a nap and generally did nothing. My brother went down on Thursday, so he was already there waiting on me. I climbed up the mast an took this picture of him and the two boats rafted together. Fortunately I was high up, so you don't get too good a look at him.
