Well, it was a very windy day on the Brisbane River over the weekend and I was kept very busy in the power boat recovering wayward sailboats at the hands of inexperienced cadets. By Sunday afternoon, they had learnt better boat control in stong winds and thus the evolution was a success. The boats in the photo here are not ours, but from a small sailing club just up the river from us. We sail corsairs and the corsair racing regulations prevent us prom sailing with spinnakers. The river gets quite busy when the wind is up!

In such conditions, I only take the P&S on the boat, not willing to sacrifice my "good gear" to salt water damage.
