Here's some vids from today's sail: [video:youtube] http://youtu.be/hGZjBE4VMnc[/video] [video:youtube] http://youtu.be/ekh5HK1cs1E[/video] [video:youtube] http://youtu.be/ts2p4jiecKQ[/video] [video:youtube] http://youtu.be/ND-4VMiSjI0[/video] The neat part about the last video is you can see the shadow of the sail on the bottom of the ocean in 30 feet of water.

It looks like 3 gas cans on left side of bow. Is it?
Do you ever get out there and the wind dies and you have to motor in? (I don't know anything about sailing, but, hey, I did write "doldrums" into a song recently. I got that going for me.)
Keep it up, Huck. The mast, that is. Actually, that, in itself, could be taken wrong, lol.

Yep, there are times when there's no wind, or a light wind and lots of current in the opposite direction of where you need to go. Under those circumstances you fire up the engine, a 30-HP Universal Atomic-4 gasoline, and at half throttle, it will send you in the right direction at 6 to 7 MPH. That's if conditions are relatively calm. When it gets nasty, you could be down to 3 MPH, which is a brisk walk speed. The gas tank on the boat is 30 gallons, which will allow me to go about 250 miles, therefore, I carry another 15 gallons for security. That's why the three 5-gallon cans are strapped to the gunwale.
