Solo Sail To Cape Roger Curtis - August 20, 2011
23.1 miles, 6:42 hours
Fantastic sail down the south end of Bowen to Cape Roger Curtis. Great wind and sun for most of the day. Flew the spinnaker most of the way back. Had a bit of a problem with the last gybe at 6 1/2 knots with the lazy sheet wrapped around the keel ... not a good situation. At least I was able to perform an emergency spinnaker take down in record time. Still a great time out.

Getting up to hull speed when the wind picked up
On the bow making sure the jib has good shape ... although I was probably interrupting the wind flow.
Good waves off the beam of the boat
Getting really comfortable sitting on the bow and letting the boat drive it's self
