Great winds in southern Michigan over the past weekend and through the independence day holiday...
Had spectacular sailing... at one point had two people in the boat hiked all the way out on a starboard tack... outrunning a few of those pontoon boats that people buy for the funniest array of reasons...
Anyway... my laser will hum at a certain velocities/points of sail... I have no idea where it's coming from... the entire thing emits a sort of resonance... details get so fuzzy after you blast back and forth, but... seems like it happens more on a broad reach, and it seems to happen more often on port tack.
This may be a bit more detail than this forum wishes to hear, but I had two sessions where I was out so long I had to practice capsizing the boat so I could take a pee... Like I said, great weekend.
PS... side note... I received a new mainsheet block while I was away... I didnt actually realize that they were twice the diameter of the original 1971 mainsheet block... no wonder my hands are killing me.
