Remember I was talking about sailing Wednesday, the Tanzer 7.5....etc?

My friend, and previous owner of my little gem, was out sailing Wednesday too, with his digital camera!

Check it out!!

This pic taken about 10am at Cooks Bay, Lake Simcoe, Ontario. Just barely enough breeze to make way, the water's like glass!!
I'm sure glad I waxed the boat up!

Cheers, Eric

Not a ripple on the lake surface.
The turbulance behind the boat says this boat can sail.
I am surprized that big of a boat with limited sail can move that easily.

The sails seem pretty full.....are you thinking all that windpower may be originating from the cockpit?? :-)

Ya know, the more I look at this pic, I may have the iron genny going. I don't honestly remember. I usually haul it right up and out of the water once I'm done with it. On the other hand it may not be running, and I had it deployed just in case! You'll just have to keep guessing

Jean, how come there is only empty beer bottles in your pics?? You must keep the full ones in you spare hand when taking pictures!!

Those are great pics. You have some beautiful scenery where you sail!

Careful you don't spill that glass of wine either. Is this why sailors can't sail in a straight line?

Great shots.

Don't tell me I just bought a geezer boat! I never thought of it this way before but maybe boats are like dogs: The owners look like their boats.

Don't be fooled by age. We had a hot racer who thought the Shark fleet was an old persons boat sailed by the "Tilley hat crowd". However, when he races with us, he has yet to place in the top half of the fleet.
