Sailing vicariously through pictures

Since it's now SNOWING (go figure). Still, the Portland/Vancouver area Fleet 72 went out for a chilly but unexpectedly windy sail last Saturday, when the weather was better.


The view of snowy Mt. St. Helens from Yale lake.


"Belay that gib halyard, arrrrr!"



Flying high - and brave too, as earlier the trap stop disintegrated and teabagged this first-time crew all the way down from the wings into the chilly water.


Soakin' in the sun...errr haze.

'Course, I had to catch the creepin' crud from my daughter, or from work, or from the plane I was on twice the last week...so I'm still sailing through the eyes of the camera. And now it's snowing again, no fair!
