Heeling in the Wind

It was a sunny day at Fern Ridge Lake. There was a good wind blowing, which caused the sailboats to 'heel.'

"When a ship or boat leans over to one side, from the action of waves or from the centrifugal force of a turn or under wind pressure or from the amount of exposed topsides, it is said to 'heel'." - Wikipedia

I moved to the PNW from the Great Lakes over three decades ago. The only thing I have missed is the sailing there [superb between June and October].

Beautiful view and fun to see the boats in action like this. Never heard of a boat heeling before, always like to learn new things! :)
