Go fly a kite
« on: September 11, 2022, 08:24:08 AM »
Finally got around to flying the asymmetrical spinnaker/gennaker on my sailboat yesterday.
Winds were exceedingly calm but the very light weight sail still filled and pulled us along at a leisurely 1.5 knots.
Picture doesn't really do it justice but it's a big piece of ripstop nylon.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams
