[Rhodes22-list] Sunday's Sail on the Chesapeake

[Chris Cowie]

Lee:

The file will open google earth if you have it installed.  I agree, the weather was perfect.  I used the opportunity to see how close I could sail to the wind adjusting the jib sheets to the intermediate, cabin side cleat.  The best I could do, and this took be down from about 4.2 kts to about 3.8kts, was about 60 degrees off the wind on each tack or a total of 120 degrees from each tack.  I know in theory most sailboats should be able to sail to within about 45 degrees of the wind or a total of 90 degrees from each tack but have not had much luck getting anything better than 60/120 unless I motor sail.

Rob:  My computer illiteracy strikes again!  Do you need to download
Google Earth to open this file?  If so I may have to try this at home.

Chris:  I was out sailing at the exact same time and just couldn't have
asked for better conditions.  Just enough wind to go fast but not enough
wind to make you work.  Certainly beat doing yard work, which was most
of the rest of my weekend.

Chris,

obtained this photo your slip was empty. - rob

Ben:

I am experimenting with my iphone navionics program $9.99 that will
track my
trip on the phone and allow me to email a summary of the trip along with
a
link to the google earth track including any photos I take along the
way. 
Hopefully Nabble will allow me to attach the .kmz file.


Start Time: 4/11/10 2:00 PM
End Time: 4/11/10 4:15 PM

Active track info:

Distance: 9.8 mi
Total Time: 2h 13'

Max Speed: 6.7 mph

Click on the attached .kmz file to see it in Google Earth!
