This weekend I sailed my heavely modified CP-16 on the Koi pond in my backyard. The fish got very upset and stirred up a very plausable typhoon!  It was good practice as the challenges of winter sailing are right around the bend.





What! You don't belive me?  :)

The real result or not a tall tale.

Quite a story, all made it home safe.

I thought the fishpond typhoon was funny.  Guess not. :(

Actually, I thought it looked more like our pool after my brother and I had "Rocked the Pool."  It was an in-ground 12 yard pool, 9' deep.  Had too many near death experiences in that pool with him  to recount here.  Suffice it to say the above photo comes close to the wave action in that pool.  I'm having flashbacks even as I write this.......................
