[C320-list] Amazing action photos

[Kirk McCullough]

I just took  my manager out for a day sail. He's from a sailing family, but 
never sailed anywhere near the Pacific. A couple of beers in light air and 
hors d'huevers with the spin up, he wants to move west. The harbour 
porpoises were all around us as we ghosted along at 3.5 kts. What a day, mid 
70's and and we all got too much sun, but not too much wine once we were 
dockside.

I love sailing!

Kirk
