I just had to write and brag about my weekend. This is only my second weekend out in my Sunfish but it was a really fun one.
I sail off the coast of Fairhaven MA in Buzzards Bay. Yesterday it was pretty calm and I was a bit disappointed but I was also recovering from flipping over on my first time out in my Sunfish a few weeks before! Now mind you there have been shark sightings all over this area but I wasn't going to let that scare me!
I managed to slowly sail around the area for about 3 hours yesterday before the sun just got too hot and I had to head in reluctantly. I ended up sitting in the cockpit with my feet up for a bit just waiting on that wind.
Today was just the opposite. Blustry wind and lots of chop. My Sunfish handled like a dream and I really had fun. I was on a broad reach half of my time out. Boy was I moving. It was both exhilarating and a bit frightening lol. Only sailors I think can understand that description!! Anyway I hated to put her onto the mooring and head back to the office tomorrow but there's always next weekend right?
I love my Sunfish!!!
