Saturday sailing with my brother

Went out for two hours, covering 4.8 nautical miles, during which the wind had kicked up to 13 knots and we had whitecaps.  Had the main up only while my brother steered and I handled the sheets, eventually came back into Valentine Creek and put up the genoa and then went back into the fresh breeze with it, moving along 2 knots faster.  Saw friends heading out for a weekend shakedown cruise and tacked several times to come close to them, sailing close-hauled at about 6.2 knots, at which point they took the attached photo.  We had a blast!
