• Did we miss photo day?

        • Gene you point out something I often miss
          • One of my sticks is out of plumb. Drives me crazy,...
            • Saw that a lot in France
            • "to compare their 'plumb-ness', as I walk streets" I'm SO happy to find I'm not the only one
            • Worked one summer for a surveyor..
              • This old house we're restoring is 3" out of plumb on the street.
            • I laughed when I read this Tom
  • I kinda miss colors morning and night. Vigorous start and sweet ending.
  • Had a nice view from the galley one morning...
    • Yes, the sloppy sail stowage on the yellow boat would catch my eye also.
      • That was certainly the first thing I noticed
      • I couldn't figure that out either... maybe set up as a riding sail?
      • First thing I noticed was the paddle . . .
  • Shy Sun
  • Cruising in wooden boat country
    • wonderful composition of a picture.
      • And the scale of the boat to the shore. I love that photo, Paul.
        • Calendar worthy, an no poorly furled sails in the background!

    • Awesome! Good to hear you made it.
    • So, tell us about the trip... please?
      • Lots of great sailing, an amazing precentage of it DDW or wing & wing...
        • Jon, a question on your sail configuration in the photo
          • I had been sailing wing & wing until the breeze came up...
            • Thanks
            • Sorry we missed you
