Dark and Stormy

Went out sailing with Ben yesterday with 30-40 mph sustained winds. Not with the little guy of course, but with Ben's Westsail 28, a 14,000 lb behemoth. No offense, Ben.

Check out the full account at his blog.

Looking forward to one day taking our boat out into winds and waves maybe half the speed and power as yesterday.

Here's a video by Fisher.

P.S. Drank WAY TOO MUCH rum and beer after the trip. Maybe the problem was *not* sleeping on a boat afterward.

It was great to meet you guys! I'm glad you made it out in Saturday's wind (and made it back in).

Come sail Hello World with us sometime!
