although the swells were 1.7 meters and knotts were 15-20 knotts
it was a amazing day we were gybing with the wind and it was like the swells where the surf and trax was our surfboard . they came from the side heeling her over normally and the wind would just push her along
we were going almost 8 knotts !
these are the good sailing days , when shes in the wind
and the waves just work in harmony to her as we were headed north to
Erlie Beach
We even got to get some rest for a change lol
usually you cant do that with her knocking you side to side
or riding the breaking beam jmping like a bucking bronco .
im starting to relax to sailing at night , at first i was freaked out by it
i could not see 2 feet in front of my face , and we was suppose to trust this stinking navigator ?
ray marine lol Well God is always my Captian , and rob is the skipper
im just one of the apostles that freaks when the waves look like they will eat you crying out "save me Lord "
You learn to not use fear when sailing , it makes it worse and you cant think properly .
So i watch rob when he sails and so far im getting pretty good at steering her into the wind as he hoists the sails !
Still given a choice i would rather have a catamaran they are less rolly
and more comfortable a ride
and have more room
but who has 300,000 doallars to spend
on one ?
We see alot of older couples sailing , amazing ! they are in their 50s 60 and even 70s
living in their cats ( catamarans ) lol
we are just young whipper snappers to them :P
All in all its a wonderful life on the sea
who can say they have dolphins out there back door that come visit and ride the bow
to say hello
Happy Sailing
