Practicing Landings
by Steven Faulkner on May.16, 2010, under Interesting Stuff, Travel
Can’t help but post about this again. GPS tracking for sailing is pretty awesome! Today I sailed 25 total miles and had a max speed of almost 10 mph. Thats pretty quick for a sailboat. Also, I did a bunch of practice landings while under sail. You can see on the map below how I kept circling around and landing at the pier and a pin in the mooring field. At the end of the season I think I’ll do a big summary that gives all kinds of interesting statistics about my sailing this summer.

Iceland Volcano Time Lapse

I ran into this video today and just had to pass it along. Sweet video time lapse of the volcano in Iceland. Make me want to go to Iceland so bad, and also to buy a super nice video camera.

Used the GPS to track my sailing today for the first time. Of course I only remembered to turn it on for the trip back. But its a start!
