Sailing to Comox

Adrian decided to ride with Shana in the Prius while Katherine and I sailed Asterix from Deep Bay to Comox.  The wind came up right after leaving the harbor, so we got in the first good sailing of the trip.  With the main and 120% jib up we were making 4.5 knots by the knotmeter, and 7 knots SOG by the GPS.  A fun time was had by all.

The winds built up throughout the afternoon, and we ended up surfing into Comox under the main, still making over 6 knots with the flood tide.
