Rummy,

What sails and wind conditions did you have when getting close to hull
speed?

Fair winds!

Everybody knows that I like to keep a cockpit clear of crap and that's why I

don't have all the fancy gizmos that a lot of R22 owners have. I don't even 
have a bulk head compass. Don't need one for where I sail and never wanted
one. 
Personally I like to lean up against the bulk heads while drinking a cold
one.
Well, yesterday was my birthday and my wife, being the ever thoughtful
person 
that she is, got me a Magellan color GPS. Very neat and it has a lot of 
possibilities. I really like the feature that tells me how fast I'm going.
I've 
never had any idea before now. We tried it out Saturday afternoon and came
close 
to hull speed a few times. I think it's probably more accurate than a paddle

wheel knot meter. It will probably take me a while to figure out how to use
all 
the tools, but I like it already.

Rummy
