Sailing the Trident

[richi]

Rigged my p13 sail on the Trident today.I've done away with the PA cleats and added two to the gunnels of the yak after an idea given to me from Snapper.It works really well.

 

Was meant to go Congering this weekend but it fell through so launched at Keyhaven at 11am and paddled out to Hurst Point then put the sail up and sat on my behind doing 7-8mph all the way to the Needles without another paddle stroke

 

 

Stopped for lunch at Scratchells Bay took a pic of the cleat system

 

 

 

And couldn't help this one :

 

 

Fished the usual spots and did not catch a thing!Had the usual fun listening to Ron from Private Venture on the VHF (no bars of silver this week but a "channel"!)The Charters had a bad day too but I bet they didn't have as much fun as I did!

 

Found a few bouys right in the middle of the Solent that I fished to no avail on the way back,the tide was running quite fast and the bouy was submerging but had no problems

 

What a great day
