We're dry docked for a bit longer while Cathy's leg heals... Thanks! We needed that.

Looks like fun. I need to get a waterproof case for my camera so I can take some footage underway.
Is it typical to tether the dingy that far back from the boat? I've never sailed a sailboat large enough that it needed a dinghy, so I'm just curious and wondered if it ever interferes with coming about or jibing?

Man that looks awesome!
Our waves almost never set up to surf like that!
Beautiful Thanks!!

Thanks for the comments!
It is not very common to tow a dinghy in these conditions but with mine it worked well. It needed to be that far back because it does surf the waves pretty quickly for 100-150'. With 50' of rope the motor got a kick in the back that way:P
Btw here's the design for that dinghy

Surfing down the waves can get pretty funny, the max recorded on the gps is 10.4 knot (average for 5 seconds, so actual surf was more)... wish I had the camera ready that time!! These Chrysler boats love to sail
