Beautiful Sunday; how about a SAIL?!!
Well, we made it in the water on Sunday! I was a little worried about lake depth for the launch, but it turned out OK. Thanks Bill for help during rigging & launch! Emma & Mary joined me after soccer practice and we sailed south in light air, around the southeast fishing pier.
After rounding the 'mark' the wind lightened some more (OK, mostly we were floating reading room) and we slowly made our way back. All in all, a fine outing for April 11th!
