Whew. It was awesome. I finally got the floating turd on the water, and single handed it.

Even though I was beat by sunfish, I had a blast. I've been crewing for one of the guys that sails where I do, and have picked up a few pointers, but sailing my own boat without a "coach" is a thrill.

I did a little bit of Hull flying in the light-mid winds today. I'm fairly light and my boat is fairly heavy, so I thought about trapping out, but the lake is so small that I never had time to get out. I ended up traveling out and sheeting in when it started to fly higher than I cared for.

Bringing me to my second point. I've only trapped out once or twice, while I was crewing, and the thought of trapping out while sailing solo kinda scares the crap out of me.

Ryan - H16 I prefer to go sailing because baseball, football, tennis, and golf only require 1 ball!
