Great Day to Sail in Iowa!

Great winds in the midwest today. After my first two outtings with 5-10mph winds finally got my 20+ winds today. 15-30% heeling was good fun and boat really is quite fast. Handled the choppy white caps no sweat.
And a great evening sky to boot!

Here's some pics of our C-20:

Nice!

Thanks for the photos. I'm thinking it's going to take at least the whole week to work the cramps out of your cheeks from smiling so hard all day long like that. I know I'm smiling and I only got to see the photos... Which I loved by the way!

Thanks
Alan

I concur totally with alanhod! Nice pictures, thanks. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Grand Rapids enjoying a totally great sail with you guys. Thanks so much for the pics! Btw, nice motor on your c20. I thought I could get away with a 32lb thrust electric trolling motor on mine. It's nice until I had to start wrestling against a little wind. I'm looking around for something at least 6hp before i get onto any sizable lake.

Gotta make the smile big cause it's got to last till the next time out! We use a 5hp Tohatsu. Powers the boat well. I've seen quite a few 4-6hp motors on Craigslist in the $500-800 range.
