Some night sailing.  Sweet

High winds, new experiences learning things

We went out in high winds and tried a few things we have never done before.  We reefed the main and reef the front sail.  Good learning experience for all of us.  Tacked with the south wind to the Rock and just used the front sail and sailed down wind back to port.  Nice ride back.

High winds, Lots of tacking.

Reef the main and only let out half the Yankee, still did over 5 knots.

Did the same thing with our front sail on the way  back and did over 5 knots.

Made it to the rock and that is all today.

Wow,  finally got our Coast Guard Certificate of Documentation.  The Name is official: FREEDOM

Great day to sail Lake Michigan

Got real close to this guy, hydrofoil sailing or is it hydrosailing or is it just Awesome Fun?
