Running, the apparent wind would be light, but that doesn't
mean it isn't blowing.

We never use a preventer unless we're going to be on extended
downwind leg. Students need to get the feel of what is going on
a preventer interferes with that.

"Air picking up"? Not only is that unrecognized nautical terminology,
but if it means the wind is picking up, it ain't true. Can't be above
single digits in that photo and Suz's pirate hat is not flying off.

Pretty funny. This proves that a photo can be very misleading. We actually
had
to reef down moments after this pic was taken and the boat was still
soaked
during the next two hours.
