Wow! 6.9 knots!

2 great days sailing this weekend.

On Saturday I went out with a friend from work. He had never been sailing before and enjoyed himself. Winds were 8 - 12 knots and the waves were in the 2 - 4 foot range.

We had to get back into the marina early in the afternoon due to a big storm with winds to 70 mph winds forecast in the late afternoon. We got back in with plenty of time to spare. Thank goodness, since the forecast was accurate.

He brought his video camera.

On Sunday my brother and I went sailing.  We had the best day sailing so far this summer. We got up to 6.9 knots!  It was great fun. Winds were 14-22 knots.  Wave action was 2-3 feet.  Sunny with temps in the high 70s.   It was a great sail.
