Roaring through the Wye River and Granary Creek marshlands startling Geese to flight. Picturesque Wye River area and our neighbors.

Getting speed









That's 7.94 folks....hull speed of Seaquel with only half her sails out.

I found out that 16-25 with half her sails out makes Seaquel her best.
