Default Spinnaker...sort of

Regarding the spinnaker in light air...... Try STARCH!

Fishing??? In the LIS????..... man you are one brave soul! The Simpson's 3
eyed fish comes to mind immediately.

spinnaker.

spun

gybe.....oh
| well. It's going to be 100 degrees today and we're fishing.
| Friday we may get some T-storms and wind....let's hope.
