sailing lake washington

Christy and I went sailing with the Puget Sound Sailing Group out of the Island Sailing Club in Kirkland this weekend. After a game of musical outboards, we took out one of their Capri 22's, skippered by the ever-capable Mat (with one T, not two).

Much to Christy's disappointment, we had no spinnaker to fly and go zipping by everyone on the lake. However, we had lots of decent wind to sail in and kept the rails of the boat in the water enough that everyone went home happy.


Ken helping out with swapping out the outboards on one of the Capri's. This would have been a great pic if they had actually dropped the motor in the water. However, this was an entirely uneventful exchange. Sad.


Christy and Mat working hard.

(I'm completely running out of clever ideas for blog post titles. This is a sad indicator of the depth of my clever reservoir. Got suggestions? Leave 'em in the comments and I'll be happy to take credit.)

I forgot how many times we buried the rail. And it was fun. Not sure how to increase your title depth; the one you posted did OK.
