Chris, Trina, and Ganges
StevenScream traveled to Ganges this weekend with our friends Chris and Trina. Sailing is new to both of them so we were pleased to share a relaxing weekend.
We departed in 20+ knots from the south, and briefly made 7 knots close reach, but mostly the winds were quite light and we struggled to keep steerage. We did make it to Ganges with the Gennaker. On the return leg we beat to windward in less than 5 knots. All easy good times for the crew and passengers.

Those are our two foresails. In that shot, they are furled (wrapped up around the forestays).
