Dousing the sails at sunset Official crew photo while underway A good windy day Perfect weather Hauling the mainsail up the mast Darn good sailing Occasionally we sail close enough to a buoy to say hello to it's occupants! Crew chilling in the cockpit Yet more chilling in the cockpit Sailing in Elliot Bay, Seattle Dousing the mainsail is a team effort Rowing to shore for showers and ice cream. Everyone gets a turn at the helm! Since Odyssey is so big, we always need to have someone posted as lookout. Practicing navigation! Time for a cookout on Sucia Island! Mmmm... hot dogs over an open fire. Sailing skills are important, but so are vessel maintenance skills. Even our sails require some tender loving care now and then. Early mornings on deck are often very peaceful. Sea kayaking 50 miles in 5 days isn't an activity for the faint of heart. But having good buddies on the trip and the sights make it all worth the effort. Sometimes learning sailing principles is easier in a smaller boat. Back
