Tarythe had so much fun learning to
sail in August 2002, we went back to Lake Chiemsee in July 2003 and Peter
and Tarythe learned to sail catamarans. Here are some shots (taken
by Debbie) of Peter on the catamaran and Tarythe in her own boat. |

Peter, a little cold from the spray, hence
the sweatshirt on his legs. (48kb) |
As we pick up speed, Peter is able to
"trapeze" off the side of the cat. (52kb)
|
Peter has to watch where we are going, and
work the rudder and main sail at the same time.(54kb)
|
|
|
|
In strong winds, the boat picks up speed,
and starts to tilt up on one pontoon, and Peter must work hard to control
it. (45kb) |
However, it is still great fun! (53kb)
|
You can see from this broad shot that we are
tilted up (towards the camera). (76kb)
