Spinnaker Sailing

So after five years of sailing, this is the first year we have attempted to use our spinnaker...and we love it! It is quite an eye sore with its brilliant colors, but we definitely stand out and it adds so much speed to an otherwise slow sailing, low wind day.

**Side note, for those non-sailors reading this blog: the spinnaker is a large, lightweight sail that billows out over the bow and catches more wind on the light wind days. It is mostly used for sailing with wind that is behind the beam of the boat. Oh, and they are usually bright and loud.

I have showered you with smalls photos of our spinnaker throughout this year's travels, but here are some photos designated to our days spent spinnaker sailing. I even had Brad go out in the dinghy on a particularly slow day to take some pictures of us underway! Enjoy!
