Your name came up routinely and not just because of the outboard. Dawn talked about her sailing lessons and we all talked about your recent sail on the Neuse and Core Sound (Dawn had forwarded some of your comments to me). It sounded like a great trip.<br />As for wing and wing, we were trying to head downwind as directly as possible, but the boat (with centerboard up) will slide a few degrees port and starboard. The stronger the wind the easier it is to track directly downwind. <br />W and W worked out well here and I'm glad to see it in the photo, main to one side and jib and mizzen to the other. <br /> <br />Very good to hear from you. I'm sure we'll cross paths on the water sometime.<br /><br />steveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060896232365651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-7762990887843628172010-06-28T23:37:53.923-04:002010-06-28T23:37:53.923-04:00I love the first photo in this post (and pretty mu...I love the first photo in this post (and pretty much every other photo you've ever posted). The thing I like the most about the picture isn't the composition or the lighting, it's the wing-on-wing-on-wing :) When you're running not-quite dead downwind the sails just sort themselves out, don't they? :) You were heading just a few degrees to port of downwind?<br /> Please keep the posts coming - I've admired the photography and narrative ever since Dawn mentioned your blogto me before the skeeter beater cruise. See you on the water sometime.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334374556478322063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-48736481524440645282010-06-28T19:29:27.247-04:002010-06-28T19:29:27.247-04:00Outstanding, Steve.
