A beautiful sunny early spring day today, with light winds, so I gave the Skerry's sail a try. It took me longer to get set up than I had managed in the driveway, and I was a bit disorganized. I forgot both hat and oars.
I had the sail set too far back I think. I tried multiple times to sail out of the shallows but kept getting blown back onto the sandbar. It would have been good free entertainment for anyone watching from shore. Eventually I twigged, and adjusted the sail, and we had a lovely sail, tacking back and forth in the little bay there, for about 20 minutes. Frank saw me out there and sent the photo below. Just as well he didn't come along earlier.
