Wow. That stinks.

How much did you have to crop your photos? The boat seems a little out of focus, but it may be my monitor.

Sailing on your swan... hmm do you mean the boat type swan or the boat manufacturer swan?

Nice pics of the laser by the way.

Was he smart enough to let go? or did he turtle it? I managed to get out in laser yesterday, water is still only 35 degrees f.

I doubt he turtled it (turtling is when the boat flips over fully, so that the centerboard/daggerboard is sticking straight up out of the water. It's harder to right when turtled than when capsized (flipped only halfway over).

Oh yeah, and about the swan's - I love the boats that the swan company makes, however they are quite pricey :(
