Sailing the Windy Winnie


While I was away in Antarctica, two of my friends went and did something completely excellent. They bought a sailboat! Her name is the Windy Winnie, and she is a beautiful 1965 Cal20 racing/cruising boat.

I feel fortunate to get the opportunity to join them on the river so often. I love spending time at the tiller again, learning to tack and getting to practice my knots. Thanks John and Jack for being so awesome.
