Had my first exciting sail of the season today.
20 kts+ wind with a few gusts over 25. I hit boat speeds of 7kts by GPS.
Some friends took a few pics of my boat for me. Cell phone pics but I appreciate any pics of my boat under sail I can get.
I was kind of playing tag with the other boat. Early on I had met up with him and passed port to port. I tacked in behind him and walked him down. Before I could put him full astern he tacked away. I followed and walked him down again. Third time around I had the shackle on my mainsheet fail and lost control of the mainsail, my sailing was over for the day.
