My wife and I had planned to go sailing on Saturday with some friends, but the weather did not cooperate. The forecast was for 40% chance of scattered thunder storms. I decided that it would not be wise to chance sailing in thunderstorms. I had gone to the boat in the morning and was planning on meeting them there at 1:00. I was able to work for several hours taking care of some odds and ends.
Sunday was another story all together. My wife, father-in-law, oldest daughter and
son-in-law went for a wonderful 3.5 hour sail.
My iPhone has a nautical GPS app that records the trip and
plots it on a chart. We traveled a total of 11.8 nautical miles. Here are a couple screen
captures.

It turns out that this group are great crew members. I let them do all the work and I gave orders!
LOVE the video! I'm especially glad no one got seasick. :)
