She's Crafty!

Gertrude is a fast girl. Charles did an incredible job sailing her. We had her going over 10 knots and caught up with a sailboat running its engine. We had some trouble in the begining understanding one another. Similar to the way American's speak to non-english speaking tourists; we thought that if we yelled louder at one another we would better communicate.
Neither one works well.
The wind was kickin'. After a few hours out on the water (and runnin' circles around a Beneteau) we decided to bring her home. Docking a 41' sail boat is not an easy task, let alone for a beginner. Charles succesfully brought her right into her slip despite the fact that the wind wanted nothing to do with her. ha ha! We won.

Charles being his sexy Captain self! Yeah I know, we could both use a little sun. Its February ok!
