Circumnavigating in the Big Horn Mountains

Post date: Aug 28, 2008 12:37:36 AM

MAL took measurements of the spars and mast to create a lugsail for Trailing Edge, our aluminum Grunman dinghy. Sailrite did a stellar job of using MAL's measurements and created a lugsail kit that MAL and Tina spent a day assembling and sewing.

The new sail turned out very well and performs wonderfully. Check out our video clip of our circumnavigation of Meadowlark Lake in the Big Horn Mountains..

ORINCO FLOW (Sail Away) - EnyaLet me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow,Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,Let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea. From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,

From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,

From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,

From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.

From the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum,

From the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,

Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,

Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.

We can sail, we can sail...

We can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,

We can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies

We can sail, we can sail...

LAZY DAY - Enya

Lazy old day

rolling away

dreaming the day away

don't want to go

now that I'm in the flow

crazy amazing day

One red balloon

floats to the moon

just let it fly away

I only know

that I'm longing to go

back to my lazy day

And how it sings and how it sighs

and how it never stays

And how it rings and how it cries

and how it sails away... away... awaaaay....

Sailing is safer than driving a car…except for the part where you're often alone, distant from medical facilities, and frequently beyond communication. Carry a Trauma Kit from Mountain Man Medical.
