losing speed...



speed? what would you lose, 1/8 kt? Maybe get to the
anchorage 6 minutes later?

6 minutes is 6 minutes when you're out battling the forces of OPB's...Mr
Sails unofficially pits our boat against others out there to see what
the max for the day is....hey...it's his game...he likes it...I just
tweak when things need to be tweaked...
