Sails
Wind: South, 8 knots. Gusts 10 knots.
Another solo sail on a hazy day. Five long tacks across the upper bay to Rocky Point in Warwick. I’m learning to maintain hull speed during tacks by not turning so tightly. An Electra doesn’t spin around like a J/24!
Coming home I tried wing-and-wing, but the wind was light and inconsistent and I kept losing the jib. I made more progress by altering course south of Conimicut Light and made it all the way to the mooring on a single broad reach.
The photo was taking by me while at the tiller. This is another phone to Flickr to WordPress picture. Pretty easy!
