On Saturday August 15th my son an I went out and sailed around all the SMSA course markers in solomons to update a new GPS mapping system I have on the boat. With winds around 14-22kts, we played is safe and only put out 50% of the genoa... at thats it! we made a steady 5kts of boat speed and had a ballenced boat. What fun! When the rain picked up, we called it quits and headed in.
