1st Day of the Memorial Day 2006 Sail to the Gulf
First is a pic of the leg out from Kemah to Galveston--about a 27 nautical mile sail...the photo is our friend's boat bearing down on us. His plan was to bombard the Hoo with water balloons launched from a big slingshot. But Steve is a lousy gunnery officer. Hit his own boat.
After that, we split up, taking different courses to our destination, the Galveston Yacht Basin. Yours truly prefers a well-defined approach with timed runs along plotted courses. Magellan is of the let's-sail-this-way-for-awhile-and-see-what-happens variety. I'll leave spontaneous sailing him. It's charts, a stop watch and a steady speed and heading aboard Houdini. Precision. Precision. Precision. Annette's favorite sound is my "15 seconds to turn"...lets her know to belay that sunbathing on the lazerette--time to work.
