Thanks for the compliment Mik,
So here is yet another video, this time in more wind, of my canoe on the Ogeechee River, coming in downwind against an outgoing tide of 2-3 kn.
Ogeechee River, GA - YouTube
I even got to hike out (almost) a couple of times. I think I'm going to need around 10-15kn of wind to get some decent, serious, hiking out. I'm not as small as I used to be (170# is a very distant memory) so kneeling inside the cockpit with my arm on the side deck seems to provide surprising counterforce to heel.....sad but true.
Here are a couple more pics, some from the canoe and one at the dock. And, yes, in the last picture the mainsheet is wrapped around the daggerboard; I did not notice this until I put it back on a tack, then couldn't let the sheet out which gave me a bit of a moment in the gust.
Cheers Rich

That is a familiar part of the Ogeechee but it's been 20 or more years since I was in those waters.
