We sailed a dream sail with beam winds 20-25 50 nm from Royal Island near Spanish Wells up to Little Harbor on Abaco. Here is a GoPro video, 2 minutes that I shot to show the scene. Sail on….
Here are some photos of this great sailing day.

| This is our trip so far this year. We departed Tampa Bay Jan. 1, 2014 |
When sailing in 4-6 foot ocean swells, the video and the photos never show the real conditions. These photos show the swells in which a 38 foot Island Packet Yacht disappears behind a swell. This gives a better reference to the sailing conditions. We are now in HOPE TOWN, ABACO where we will stay for a week! Welcome to ABACO

Hayden, how did you attach the camera boom? Remarkably steady ride for being so far out.

I zip tie the GoPro to the boat hook. Then extend it. I rest it on the lifeline and just hold it steady. No lift.
