Sailing with Andre and his family
Today Andre and his wife Mia came down to Ventura with his sister and her husband. They are visiting from Germany so we took the boat out for the day. The winds were great but just to be safe we reefed the main and hoisted the small jib just in case. There was quite a bit of swell and winds picked up to about 15 to 20 knots but it was fun. Not for Andre’s sister and Mia though since they both got seasick. I mounted my digital camera on a little tripod and tied it to the stern pulpit for this little video clip.
When we got back in the harbor we motored around and saw that there was a Fire and Ocean Rescue Fair in the park near the harbor. We floated by just as a helicopter was taking off.

It was a great sailing day. Thanks again Dan for taking me and my family out on your boat. We all had a blast despite the fact that my sister and Mia got seasick. The weather and in particular the wind was awesome. I also think that 5 people fit quite comfortable on the O’Day 22.
