Saturday afternoon, anchored in the shallows off Perdido Key.
BB with staysail up in light wind. We were doing close to 2 kts. I think the staysail will come in handy on the 30 mile run
from Mosquito Cove to Navare. Taken by Dennis Marshall at the Cedar Key Small Boat Messabout.

Plenty of belly in the sails for light winds on Lake Tarpon. Our top speed of the day was only 5.4kts according to my GPS.
Wind averaged about 5kts with gusts to 10 or so. Taken by Ron Hoddinot.
Becky sailing in solo on Lake Manatee. She has the starboard ama pulled in to be ready to dock under sail.
Light winds, so she had the sails pretty baggy.
She spent two hours solo-sailing while I worked on the trailer putting on new LED lights,
stern rollers, and playing with the position of the winch post.
