I'd say you're going the 'right way', as long as you get off before you
arrive up here. ;-)

Yep we were on a "broad reach" with the Ford Lehman genny unrolled to
about 1400rpm

Oh yeah...forgot for a minute that you 'sail' for the dark side.




Yeah, but it's pretty much a bitch to do canals and inland waterways
under sail. I'd love to hear the conversation with the lock master when
you tell him you intend to sail into his lock.
