    Hahahahah you are so right. It was interesting, I have been sailing for along time but have never had dolphins tag along like that. It was a late night the night before, getting everything ready, so I was a bit sleep deprived lol but I was like man these dolphins are guiding me.

    58 Mile Trip

    Okay so I gathered some footage together just from my phone.. so this is like 30% of the footage I have and it’s only during the trip. I did my best to make it not horrindous, but if I am honest I didn’t spend much time on it & just used iMovie from my phone. But here you go! Dropbox - 1080p.mov

    I like this option, but I still think it would be nice to have a set place for everything cleanly laid out where everything has its place strapped in. No doubt though that this is the most budget friendly option. Thanks for the comment!

    Thank you! I haven't put it on a scale but I am pretty confident that it is right around there. I will definitely have to get more serious about drying out the foam, it has always been on the back of my mind I just hadn't done anything about it yet. I like the thought about doing it in...

    I don't have a port in at this time, I do have a drain plain plug & have leak tested it and repaired all issues. However, water has saturated the foam I am surely going to have to replace it in due time. **Edit** I didn't thoroughly read you comment: I have heard of people drying it out but I...

    Hey Charles, I did! but I am thinking that maybe the bolt was just a hair to short so maybe it couldn't bite all the way. Its tough to say though, but it will definitely not happen again.

    58 Mile Trip

    Thanks Norcalsail, It worked out well, I'm sure mostly because of the favorable winds! I have to imagine if my sunfish was as light as it was 20 years ago I may have made the same distance an hour or so quicker. unfortunately, as far as sunfishes go she is a rather piggish 200 or so pounds...
