nice day for sailing. We were doing about 11mph when I took these. Today’s top speed was 12.8 mph while fully reefed in the main and 60% reefed in the genoa.

Hey Andrew, looking good pal! The winds were ripe today on Cayuga. Cindy and I unloaded peripherals, stowed deck hardware, and poured pink stuff down her gullet...haul out on Tuesday. So bummed!

We will let you know if we go out again. Maybe you can come for a ride!

Hell yeah...would love to. We had no choice, dependent on FLBC to get us out before 10/23.

200 boats to move they said. We'd like to see you and Helene again before the white stuff strikes.

Ha ha. The beauty of having a boat we can put on a trailer. We went out sailing today, and had a couple of beers instead :)

Hope to get out at least one more time before we have to pull it out next weekend. The wind out on the lake was in the high teens and low 20s with gusts up into the 30 range. Fun sailing day. Andy, I bet your boat literally flew today.

*sigh* I could have sailed on Firefly. *sigh* And with more effort (and heel-digging-in to my wife) I could have sailed on Weather or Knot. *sigh*
