Sailing

San Diego CA

Spent Saturday out sailing a 22 foot Capri around San Diego Bay. It's been a long while since I took the helm of a sailboat, but it all came back to me rather quickly. I even managed to make a spot-on approach to the dock directly upwind. I did discover however that it is very difficult to take pictures off a sailboat and sail it at the same time.

Nice shot ... and thanks for the memories. I too haven't sailed in a long time and appreciate the relearning. Upwind landing spot on! Right on!
