Back to Wildwood

Tis the season for sailing on Wildwood Lake.


Took the boat to the car wash and then put the mast up before launching.


Sailed through the 5 foot 4 inch grass (tall as me) Would you believe I jumped in to measure it?.

Were unfairly attacked by Les who was armed with a water gun. Revenge will be sweet.

To get more speed going downwind we set up 2 jib sails - worked great but was a real pain when tacking.


Not to be outdown by Les and Chris's bumpers on the dock we made these using vinyl and pool noodles. I assure you these are for protecting the boat from being bashed into the dock during rough weather not to protect the boat and dock from my docking skills!
