Photos of Door County cruise fun!
Our Door County cruise was great fun, even though rain and gale-force winds clipped our sailing time from four to two days. Two M-17 owners -- me, and Andrei Caldararu of Madison, Wi -- participated. On our first day out, on Sister Bay, conditions were still rough, with 20-knot-plus winds and big waves built over a multi-day gale. The vigorous sailing was very fine, and the boats performed very well! On our second day we enjoyed clear skies and a 10-or-so-knot following breeze as we broad reached from Sister Bay southwest to Egg Harbor, with a lunch stop in the lee of Horseshoe Island (adjacent to Peninsula State Park). Here's a link to my Door County cruise photo album on Picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/yakker9/DoorCountyCruise# Click "slideshow" to get a full-screen presentation, and enjoy! Andrei took many photos and may post his as well later. Gordon '83 M-17 Sapphire Milwaukee
great-- looks like first class sailng. The photos were great. My sister lives in Milwakee; I wish that it wasn't a 20 hour haul to get to Lake Superior from North Carolina. On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 10:18 PM, Gordon Gilbert < gordon@financialwriting.net> wrote:

Thanks, Michael. If you're ever up here visiting during sailing season, let us know. We'd be happy to take you out on Sapphire! Gordon On Sep 29, 2010, at 3:27 PM, Michael Murphy wrote:
