A fall sail in light winds.
The worlds most beutiful man sit's on a sailboat under sail. He wears a warm jacket, and the water is calm.

Headed back from the beach. We ended up motoring to get the kids home at a decent hour.

Anchored out with nobody else around. We anchored under sail which we likely won't do at this location again. We want to anchor shallow at about 2 feet, and it's hard to get that safely without much control on our speed.

A Great Sailing Day at Great Salt Lake. The water is warm enough to hop out for a swim, and currently, the water is crystal clear.

New inflatable dingy for our sailboat. It's bigger than what we need for our Catalina 22, at half it's length,but it was only $10 off the local classified ads.

The kids braved the 58°F water the other day to go for a swim, they were thrilled and shivering.

Great Salt Lake blessing of the fleet parade, waiting to head back in. It was a pretty good turn out. And pretty good wind afterwards to do some sailing.

Had an ok sail today. The wind wasn't as good as it was projected, but we made do. We did just over 7 miles in the three hours we were out.

It was raining everywhere but the lake. We didn't stay out long, but we had fun.
A view from a sailboat in the water. The fender is slipped onto the boat. In the distance, rain can be seen coming down along the shore, yet it is sunny on the ship.

We had a decent wind out of the north today. North winds are not great due to the fetch down the lake. The Great Salt Lake has a salinity of about 14%, which makes the water dense, heavy, and buoyant. This means steep waves with short periods. We were bouncing enough that we didn't raise the main.

I made some soft shackles for use around the sailboat. The button knot is apparently not my strong suit. Also my fids are on the boat so I used a garden stake I bent in the vise.
Four dyneema soft shackles of varying length lay on a table.

79°F(26°C) next week. I may have to take a day off to go sailing. But first a week of snow between now and then.

Cold winter sailing is fun, but I'm ready for some warm swimmable days when I don't worry about the kids falling off the boat.

I replaced my clunky 1/2 line mainsheet with 3/8 line yesterday. It made a huge difference, it's so much easier to let it out. Also got rid of my double ended sheet setup which just left line laying everywhere in the cockpit.

They were having fun sailing despite making faces.

Two children on a sailboat under sail. They are making funny faces. The boat is sailing through still water in the cold with fog in the distance.

It was not great wind yesterday sailing, but enough to move us along at 2 knots most of the time. The kids had fun getting used to maneuvers.

Already snacking before even leaving the marina. Diet Coke is for me, not him.
