A boat photo underway always looks better than one sitting at the dock.

My apologies in advance,Eric.
Yes, bit hard to take a selfie of your boat under way, when you are on it, that is. You have to set it up with another boater to take one for you and then email you the pic. I still have yet to achieve this myself, but the nearest you can get is to take one from the dink while anchored on a nice day. Now Auscan, as your sail is not that powerful, I reckon you could do that, and get one with the sail up at anchor, taken from such an angle as to hide the anchor chain, and as long as you had crew on board to drop the sail quiickly if the wind got a bit strong, I think you could achieve what you are after that way. How say you..?
That's how I took my Avatar pic....ahhhh...Mark...you stuck that in just as I went to post..yet another pic of the Coot...don't you ever sleep...isn't it night over there now..?
