February Everglades Challenge Practice Run


Yesterday I did 28 nm in the Chesapeake Bay. There were very lite winds and I spent a lot of time fighting the current. A lot of close haul sailing accross the bay. From the above zig-zag on the picture you can get a good idea how well the Hobie TI points. The wind died as I finally reached the second crossing of the Chaesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The run along the tunnel road was long. In the afternoon the wind veered to NE and the temperature dropped 10 degrees.


As usual I shot some video. It takes time to produce these videos. I will update as soon as it is on You-Tube...

Hobie Tandem Island training for the 2011 Watertribe Challenge

This weekend I took my Hobie Tandem Island out on to the Chesapeake for some more practice for the Watertribe EC. There are only 31 days left before the race. For a January sail, it was very nice. The surface of the Chesapeake was like glass. Bellow is my latest video...


And, these are my other January practice videos...
