I took the afternoon off last week and went out for a single-handed sail on Robin Lee, in tandem with my friend Bill Hogan on his Pacific Seacraft Flicka. Lovely sail, about 10 kts. with gusts to 15.  Here's a shot of Nomad, Bill's salty little Flicka:



Bill took a bunch of photos or Robin Lee:


Leaving the harbor


Beating in the light stuff


Grey day!  Santa Monica in the background


Alone on Santa Monica Bay.


Close reaching.  Wind starting to fill in.


Beating in 10 knots of breeze


Pretty, no?

Bill also took this nice video clip of Robin Lee close hauled, with appropriate commentary:
