Bristol-Blue Lake Michigan Sailing Adventures

It's been a while since my last post and it was a week one with no pictures.  So here is a mildly better one.    Boom tent update:  I worked on this a little this week. I took it down to do some fitting so I could size up the edges and get the tie down straps into place.  Things did not go super well.  Then I dropped one of the tent poles into the lake.  Grr...   This project is looking like it will move to the back burner until I get the boat out of the water in the fall. Some things are just better to wait on than push through.  This is an interior view it is quite spacious.  However I need to work on ventilation it is super muggy and hot inside.  There would be little hope of spending the entire night in here with the Stagnet air.  We worked on the the pond yacht.  Well I worked on it.  The kid played with my brace and drilled several holes in the scrap lumber. I found our flag!   We have been looking for this...

So no pictures but wow we sailed.  Started with the standard working jib the wind died down and we switched to the mast head spinnaker.  Then we went to the 150 Genoa.  The wind picked back up again and built in steadily through the afternoon.  We pulled back into the dock one exhausted crew.  Having started the morning on the T-ball field kiddo was about to fall a sleep once we tied up.  We think  he may have actually dosed off for a second laying on the seat cusions.  We filled out the day with some swimming at the pool then home. For some grilling and back yard batting practice.  One of the great things about the Typhoon is it is not all time consuming you can sail it then do other thing with your day.  Now this is sad but it is 7:30 and I'm ready to crash.  

If you are a Typhoon fan you should check out this video.  It is very well done and informative.
