I took a short video while sailing on Sunday (Link below). Nothing special, and I'm not big on narration, so just the sound of wind, water and sails. I hadn't been sailing for several weeks mostly due to my daughters softball tournament schedule. It was regatta weekend at Moraine State Park and there was a sailing race going on. The winds were 10-15 steady, great for sailing. We all know the CP-16 is not a speed daemon but I saw some smaller daysailers in the race and I "un-officially" joined in., At least for a one mile leg to the buoy near the bridge. (Frankly that's all the attention span I have when out sailing to be trying to maximize speed and direction) It was a good exercise, I did beat the those daysailers to the mark, primarily due the those skippers having some issues with tacking. I had a good lead until it was a straight beam reach and they made up ground fast. With the steady wind I was able to maintain a steady 5-5.5mph by my GPS.
Anyhow it was a great day sailing, I need to check the GPS track for my total distance I'm thinking at least 20 miles up and back on the 2.5 mile lake.
