Sail #2 Well, after lessons learned and bugs found from Sail #1, I spent the nights after work trying to fix the steering. Some really good suggestions were posted by members here and on the other board, and what I finnal ended up doing is doing 3 turns before the through-hole, tying the rope to itself after going through the shaft, and putting 3 more turns after the through hole. Tightened it all up, and it works well.

With the steering fixed and trolling motor ok (thank goodness for that), we set out on Lake Lahontan again this afternoon. This time it was myself and my two daughters.

Things that went right: Everything! We spend about an hour and a half sailing around. The winds were very light, but we did reach 2 mph (1.73 nautical mph). I remembered my gps this time.

Things that went wrong: Nothing, really. We all had a great time, but again, I forgot the camera. This nice jet skier used his girlfriend's camera to take a pic of us at the doc. Hopefully he'll email them to me sooner than the guy who helped me last week Wink (still haven't gotten them yet)

I did learn to make sure and pull up to the windward side of the dock (I didn't do that this time >8-O ) and the stern swung way out as I was trying to manuever her onto the trailer (yeah, I still had the sails up, but they were loose), but the jet ski guy jumped into the water and helped me load her up. All in all a great day.  ¶ 3:52 PM
