Wait. So did the plane take off or not?

The only real sailor question was how much weight cam the masthead hold, but I suspect an 80' mast underfull sail carries a fucken whole lot more stress and weight then those bags.

I think you missed the "winky" at the end of my post.

I regularly run through a little channel between two islands on lake champlain that, during the summer, I can make in a west or southwest wind b/c I can heel my boat, but can't make without it. But that's due to depth, so not nearly as exciting...

Dude, you did, but you have to spell it out to silence the morans. :)

That bridge he went under is the old Pungo ferry crossing on the inland water way. That guy was on his way south, probably for the season, or just heading out for a day of sailing. Whichever, that was really cool to watch. Never seen that done before. . .!
