This is a shot of our path coming back into the bay after going out about three miles. Our skipper said that my wife and I did pretty well in the rough stormy seas, as in no sea sickness. I am prone to sea sickness, but use scopolamine patches, which are a life saver, and I haven't been sick once since I discovered them.
Just did a quick search in Flickr and found that both Lilly of the Valley and Jimsom Weed contain scopolamine. Interesting.

Shot this with my IPhone using the Hipstamatic application with the John S lens and Ina's 1969 film. I was leaning forward on the bow of the sailboat and in the wind to shoot this. Most of my shots came out crooked and this one was as closes to horizontal as I could get..
Thanks for having a look.

When running, the mainsail is eased out as far as it will go. The jib will collapse because the mainsail blocks its wind, and must either be lowered and replaced by a spinnaker or set instead on the windward side of the boat. Running with the jib to windward is known as gull wing, goose wing, butterflying or wing and wing. In Scandinavian languages this is known as psalmbooking. A genoa gull-wings well, especially if stabilized by a whisker pole, which is similar to, but lighter than a spinnaker pole.

We're just back from a weekend of sailing with some friends. Had a great time and that's the USS Midway in the background.

"Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me."
Christopher Cross
It might be a little corny, but I do like this song.
I think there is a sail boat in me and my wife's future.
