Our Last Sail Of The Season In Torrential Rain and Fladen Suit

What a day. One of the worst rainy days I have experienced and we managed to fill the bucket up 3" during about 2 hours sailing down the lake today.

Not to worry, armed with my new Fladen suit we get moving and see what the day brings!

We end up motoring for a bit down to the ENchanted forest where we give the duit a little test and then the wind picks up enough for a decent beat back.

Quite sad really for this to be the last full sailing day of the season.

I'm really sorry about the sound on one of the cameras. It seemed to get water logged for some reason.

Enjoy!
