Sarcasm? me thinks.
Nature of the Sound at this time of year. Looks like it was a good day. That is a nice loop, Port Orchard to Blakely.
You could probably get a Snark or Sunfish in here, but nothing with much more air draft. A section of Overtoom Sluice in Amsterdam:

Chasing my Son & his fiancee in their Buccaneer. I've infected one of my four kids with the sailing bug.

Morning wake up, looking across Cabrillo at the Harbor, Santa Barbara CA.
I was unfamiliar with leeboards until my brother tried to explain to me (over the phone) what they were, and why the sailing pram he built had them. I had to look it up. Today I was reminded of that conversation (this was on a canal in Amsterdam):
Apparently they are not uncommon on large vessels here:

Headed out through the Dog River Bridge in a Potter 19. A great day on the bay spent sailing at the speed of smell.
A spinnaker the size of Texas would have been nice about now.
A couple of the locals came by to see if we were ok. They said they'd never seen a boat moving that slow that wasn't in distress.
We were about to go hard to port, then I thought, no, @Jackdaw will never let me forget it if we suffer a world class T-bone. I really think we could have made it, right?
There are a lot of these Tanzer 22s around here, some are in pretty good shape. A great way to get out on the water.

The joy of taking the helm for the first time! My brother-in-law had a blast.

Sunday was a great sailing day - wind, sun and flat water
