Last night the breeze picked up a bit, so Anne, Drew and I took turns sailing the Starboard Gemeni, aka The Biggest Board Ever Made! It's a tandem, so you kind of want it big, but man is this board huge! It's also a ton of fun to sail, even in mediocre conditions. We only really got it up and running once or twice in the biggest gusts (of like 14), but it's fun just trying to coordinate tacks and jibes and even uphauling... Huge thanks to Jim Drake for giving us the opportunity to sail this behemoth!!
Well I'm off to Chicago for the weekend to visit my brother Jim and his fiance Pauline! Should be a ton of fun, and it'll be good to get off the island for a few days (it's been a while)... I won't be traveling with gear, but I think it's still pretty cold up there anyway, so no big deal! Carry on only, easy as pie!
