Prior to start (one can hear the horn) of one of the PRSA races run by the Potomac River Sailing Association Laser fleet (Jan 13, 2013). Watch a plane arrive at Reagan/National Airport.
Great video! I thought I was an oddball wanting to sail in the Portland, OR area in December and January. I guess I am a light weight waiting for only a sunny day to take my boat out (as you can see in my photo). Glad to see others sharing my affliction.
Sailing a Laser is always a bit of a risk, but hey, who wants to die in the nursing home...
More seriously, the Potomac River was very quiet that Sunday (not surprising). There's a channel on the left side, looking downstream, that is used by motorboats. We do stay away from there.
