Day 150- Upwind Sail to Hope Town

Friday, May 1, 2009
Time to quit dancing and start sailing again! Yes!
First thing Friday morning we headed into the wind toward Hope Town. For those of you who live on the land, sailing into the wind in neither an easy nor efficient thing to do. Sailboats do not sail directly into the wind so if you want to do that you have to tack back and forth, incrementally making progress toward your final destination.
So, Finley tacked us back and forth toward our windward goal--Hope Town. It made for a full day of sailing! Fun! Fun!














When we finally got to Hope Town we rewarded ourselves by grilling the lamb chops and brocolli we'd purchased in Treasure Cay and were saving for a celebration.
