Sailing Salty

15 - 20 knots of breeze and little Salty woke up to who she really was!
A good day for me too. A brisk Northeasterly is not uncommon on our harbour. When it encounters the incoming tide it sets up a nasty short chop in mid channel, Salty has relatively high freeboard but not enough to keep her dry. I was forced to make landfall on the far shore and bail her out befor reaching back to the boat haul out ramp.

Note to self: remember to peel of those irrelevant sail numbers.

Salty. The launch of an exceptionally big little boat.


Man I'm impressed with this little boat. Salty rows exceptionally well. There was not much breeze today  
however we still made way, well under control and surprisingly slippery.
