Summer Sail

It was a hot day on canyon lake.  Very nice wind, though shifting directions quite often.  Our boat has sailed more than 100 miles so far and I haven't found any major problems.  A couple of adjustments here and there are always necessary of course.  





We sailed to a different island today, much larger and a little more difficult to find the beach for landing.  It was nice to go for a swim to cool down.





We sailed 10.5 miles today.  With the consistent wind, we had an average speed of 4.2 mph, apparently hitting 8mph at some point.  That's probably a wild data point, but I did see us moving well above 6 and sometimes above 7mph on a reach, indicating the boat was planing a little bit.
