Great sail Friday and Saturday!

Took my baby to the Pamlico River. What a sail. I found out something that even amazed the two seasoned skippers that were sailing with me: my boat will self-steer with a bungee cord to a close reach, and stay there, no matter what the wind does.
I did it Friday morning in a two hour starboard tack. I spend about 1 1/2 hours sitting on the bow with my feet dangling in the water doing 5 knots with the bungee cord. It was GREAT!
