I just took Ceilydh out for the first time by myself and I gotta tell ya,,,,,, that was an experience I won't soon forget! Bellingham bay was blowing around 20 mph with 2 foot waves and I was beating windward.... or I should say, was trying my damnest to beat windward! Doing everything myself under those conditions has made me rethink my setup procedures.... like fighting the main'll and jib with no one on the tiller.
The cool thing is that I had her heeled over (leaned on her side) about 20 degree's with water splashing up from the bow and making it all the way to the stern..... she was movin'.... well, she was doing all she can do, which is 5.5 knots (5.5 knot = 6.3 mile/hour (mph)).
I just bought another camera to replace the one I lost so I'll try and post some 'action shots' next time.
