This video comes from sailing friend Lynn, she was shooting from aboard the schooner Virginia. SPARTINA was making hull speed or maybe even better. I didn't have a gps with me but I'm guessing somewhere close to 6 knots, maybe a little more until towards the end when we were approaching the wind shadow of downtown. Perfect conditions with the wind forward of the beam and coming off the river shore so the water was very calm. I can only hope for wind like that on the upcoming fall sail.

Whoah. You didn't speed up that clip?
It does look like it, but honestly no. Just really nice wind.
Damn, boy - looks like you're planing!
Perfect conditions, just right for a Pathfinder. steve
