We just played around in the wind. Sometimes we did S turns, sometimes we flew the chute. It was a relaxing day. Photo: Jim Adams |

That Hunter 216 was moving along nicely in the light 2 - 5 mph breeze. Photo: Katie Heyerly |
Even though Katie and I had very little wind for the first 45 minutes, we were able to make the most of it. Photo: Katie Heyerly |

Shelly and Kevin Grigbaum had a crew of 2 on board, Alicia & Bill Stewart. |
I enjoy sailing in light air. It makes this a game of finesse. Photo: Katie Heyerly |

It was a great day in the sun. Everyone seemed to be getting what they
needed. Photo: Shelley Krigbaum |
Shortly after this photo, we turned back upwind and headed for the dock.
