Success!

Well everything went well except for the wind. There wasn't any! I had a couple good moments were I got moving pretty good but it was fleeting. A couple of times I got the heart pumping pretty good but it was over before I knew it.

Mostly I just sat there or moved from side to side trying to figure it all out. I think if I had a light steady wind I could pick this up pretty quickly. I can see from just the couple of good moments that I'm really going to enjoy this.

It is a lot of work however, doing it all by yourself. Stepping the mast, rigging the sails, sitting in the middle of a lake with no wind while ski boat wakes make you think the mast is going to snap in half, and then having to break it all down, load it up, lower the mast, tie it all down whew!!

Can't wait till tomorrow!!


P.S.

What is the minimum wind speed before I need to worry about capsizing? I'd love to take the wife and kids along but until I get more experience I'd be worried about that.
