we have kayaks and paddle when the wind dies. powerboat wakes become surfing opportunities! at our regatta last weekend my friend tena was at the leeward mark in her yak to cheer us around the mark, then she paddled straight upwind to the windward mark finish line, she was waiting for us at the finish with cold coronas. what a woman! kayaks- i find myself paddling more and more. a great way to be on the water especially if the wind is too light- or heavy- for sailing
