Kicking back

Heaved to on a starboard tack, stand-on vessel to just about everyone else. Or in non-sailing parlance: going nowhere fast on purpose and everybody has to go around me.

Location is the Barnett Reservoir outside Jackson, MS. The boat is a homemade Argie 15, an older Dudley Dix design.

Hardly top-tier sailing content, but we need to start somewhere.

From my looking at the video, I can open it and watch it. I’m happy to keep it.

Looks a bit choppy out there, but a beautiful day!

OP here. I was also testing links to MP4 video. Clearly I should have posted this on YouTube instead.

Mod(s), please feel free to dispose of this as you see fit.

No fenders to be seen. Good job!

Funny you say that. As I recall, it was just about this point when I heaved to that I realized I had been dragging a line in the water for awhile. It was embarrassing.
