Title: A video of Tehani sailing
Post by: CharlieJ on November 04, 2006, 07:22:30 PM
Close hauled on Port tack, wind se 10-15, about 25 miles offshore out of the jetties at Matagorda Bay, sailing in the open gulf. Sheet to tiller steering hooked up - it drove all night, although during the night the weather deteriorated to the point we were sailing on a reefed main and reefed working jib and still putting the bow under water. At day light the following morning I picked gulf weed out of our bow cleats

;D

The music is an original song and music by a musician buddy of Laura's son named Wade Cleveland and is performed by him

I have seen this video numerous times, and it still makes me smile whenever I do. :D

(Thank heavens CJ wasn't wearing the big band-aid, tho'...  :o)

That's Great!
I needed that since we had a high of like 38 degrees today.

Us too. Now it is in the twenties - 11:15 PM.

Awesome video - anyone who wouldn't want to sail after seeing that would lick the color off a puppy's sucker... :D
