Sailing off Shilshole

You gotta love these sunny, windy days! Here we are on our "liveaboard shakedown" sail making sure all the stuff we brought with us was adequately stored and wouldn't break and/or tip over under sail. We were doing a fair bit of heeling in 15-20 knots of wind, and everything managed to stay put. Well, save for the pencil holder that dumped its contents all over the place...
And here's a video. We're just off Golden Gardens Park, heading northwest.

  2. A/C? Heck no! That's what the sea breeze is for. :)

  3. The "heeling" part is the part that gets me. I am not quite up to speed with the fear factor. Anyhow, the more I read about other couples doing it, the more courageous I become. We are waiting for the baby finches to fly out of the nest that is in our sails...then we'll take Training Wheels out for a sail! Heel ONWARD!
