Cambyration 4 - Kathy tries to kill Chad



So, I have mentioned before the difficulty of steering in the rolling following seas, with the wind shifting on the stern quarters. Here, I demonstrate how a momentary lapse in attention (while steering with one hand and filming with the other)can have *consequences*.

The wind shifted a bit and the main came around to the other side while Chad was up the main mast. Chad had good holds and was unscathed. Leeann, thankfully, was asleep in the cabin at this time.

The wind was only moderate, so it wasn't so bad, in a heavy wind an involuntary gybe can be disastrous.
