Reenie K

We took the Reenie K out today because tomorrow is going to windy with gusts (Yeah we might go again!) We had a GREAT time. Light winds, easy sailing. We did a better job keeping her on an even keel and I think we got better performance today. In light airs, we got 5 3/4 knots out of her! During one conversation, Brian and I were complimented on our boat handling skills!!! Brian spent most of the time working the tiller and I worked the sails. It seems to work better that way. I can control the heel with the sails and Brian can concentrate on steering.

I talked to several people who regularly sail at Spruce Run - they all report that winds are variable there, gusting and changing direction unexpectedly.

The adjustment to the stay and shrouds worked well, There is still some weather helm, but no where near as much as last time.

All in all, a great day on the water!

Here are the pics!
There are pictures of a couple of boats we saw today, including a homemade sailing canoe! Pretty cool!
