Default Sailing on Winnipesaukee - June 19

Had a great time sailing... Was a bit too windy Sunday when we first went out. Only needed the main sail. But after the wind calmed down a bit we were able to raise the jib and run back upwind on a close reach.




Here's the video!




There was very few boats out on the water. Very sad to see on such a beautiful day with plenty of wind to share.

See you on the water!

Wind was serious in Alton Bay on Father's Day. Produced good chop in Broads and mouth of the bay. Still a lovely day, went swimming with my daughter. 10 year olds can swim all day in the cold water........

Default Team Oracle...

I'm envious. It looks like a gorgeous day for a relaxing sail.

Here's a typical day on San Francisco Bay, in contrast, as Team Oracle practiced for the America's Cup last week...Sorry, you'll have to copy and paste the address. I can't get it to post as a hyperlink. Worth the effort.

Wow, that's the first time I've seen a boat bury it's bow and have the stern go straight up like that.

Amazing.

I have all the wind I need on this lake. I like going fast, but I also enjoy the cruising aspect where I can sail and eat / drink while underway. So I'm not a big racer... I might look into one race for the fun of it this year, but it would be for the fun of it. I've been sailing for years but now that I have my own boat I'm in charge of, I see myself pulling a ton of rookie mistakes. Re-learning has been good for me, and thankfully this lake offers me lots of opportunities to iron out those kinks.

Example: The main sail was great, but next time I'll reef it, and toss up the storm jib and see how that makes the boat go.

Thanks for sharing the video. Makes me want to find a way to bring my 1983 Catalina 25 with me when I move up. Sadly selling it. (Too much $$ to have it hauled up from NJ, too much $$ to store in winter and summer at marinas)

I'll be looking to crew or provide a helping hand for other sailors.
