The view from my lunch spot was marsh, reeds, sky, water. Pretty great to be out on an 80'f day after the middle of October! Had a romping good sail out in Stony Point Bay, with white caps. Caught one wave over the weather rail, but ended up not nearly as wet as I have been from spray on my 27' foot boat.
Launched, rowed under a railroad bridge, sailed a half a mile, then dropped the mast and sailed under an auto bridge, then rowed under the lee of the land, raise the mast and sail and we were off!
On the return the marsh seemed like a good place to stall off going home, have a snack, and a short nap. The little folding grapnel anchor kept us in place just fine.
This boat is soooooooo handy, easy to launch, switch from sail to row to sail. The anchor is small and light and fit's in a bag with it's rhode. I am excited about the 15 foot micro cruiser/camper/adventure boat, but sailing this boat and being able to carry it in the pick up truck and launch it myself, easily, will be hard to give up.
