Sailing to Suwannee!
Well today was quite the adventure! Shortly after leaving our new friends John and Joni we paddled a couple miles out to a point where we could just see Horseshoe beach off in the distance maybe 12 miles away. The wind was straight on our backs, and I thought about how much I had been wanting to try sailing my kayak... "Hey Harrison, how do you feel about trying sail?" After a quick stop and some paracord/tarp quantum physics rigging we had ourselfs a fully functional catamaran downwind spinnaker! Our rig was simple. Two corners of a lightweight tarp tied to our decks with the top corners tied to our paddles. The boats tacked together with nothing but our spare paddles and arms. The paddles would act as masts and I figured the whole thing could be quickly taken down in the event we needed to separate and paddle. We learned and adapted as we went. Every mile that passed by we figured out how to postion ourselves and our lines...
