"I left Little Farmers Cay going west for 1.5 nm to get out past the
shallow water. There was a boat going north in front of me like Vic's,
with a big billowing genoa. When I turned north to head to Black Point
he was about .25 nm ahead of me. I poled out the genoa going straight
downwind. In 5 miles I have embarrassingly passed him until he is now on
my quarter. That's what a pole does.
This is a good setup."
note from Normandie: Bill is heading for a rendezvous with old friend Vic Copeland and Gigi on S/V Oconee. Vic's blog about Bahama cruising, and some of the best photos on the web are here: http://gigisislanddays.blogspot.com/ , don't miss his Picasa photo album link.
