We were sitting on the dock yesterday morning soaking up the sun and enjoying the nice breeze with our dock mates when someone says "man, what are we doing? - this is sailing whether!" The photos below were taken shortly thereafter. We headed out the Canaveral locks with another boat from our dock, boats loaded with everyone on the dock that was willing to skip their chores in exchange for a sail, and had a nice run south on the Atlantic. Winds were light - 10-13 knots from the east. Seas were 4-6, but with troughs spaced far enough apart to just give you that comfortable rolly-polly feel. We switched out our heading several times in search of speed but never got much more than 6.5 knots - felt good just the same. Took turns trying to pass eachother and flashing a ceremonious moon to the following boat. This day is why I love sailing.
