    It was a nice night for a sail...

    Incredible skies to be had...

    Just a cheap mug shot...

    And what do you wear on the boat...the trusty Suunto Observer of course.

    Wife and daughter enjoying the cruise...

    Cruising at a stellar 5.7 knots...

    And most importantly where to go for a drink afterwards...

    A nice meal and a few drinks and all were recharged for the coming week...

    Sailed dinghies for many years, did't appeal to the kids so changed to power.
    Lots of fun,

    Sorry Hijak, didn't intend to hijack your your post, just one old salt to another.

    An unusually subtle play on words :)
    Very fast but remarkably dry in the heaviest of seas. Tbh still prefer sail, maybe one day.

    I'm not a sailor, more of a (sometime) walker/biker. Here is a pic I took yesterday morning while on a stroll from the Point, at 55th St. in Hyde Park.
