My daughter Sydney and her boyfriend John came to visit for a few days. The forecast for the coast was nice so we decided to try something new; a Jenner out and return with Sydney and John in the 2 man kayak and Jeannie and Andy in the Laser.
In spite of Sydney and John having a Wind Paddle (a spinnaker for kayaks) that allowed them to sail the downwind portions of the trip, there was still going to be a lot of paddling for those guys... particularly the upwind, return portion of the journey.
So, as another first, I thought I'd see how the Laser would do with some tug boat duties. We ended up towing those guys about 3 miles, 2.5 miles of that while pointing upwind.
Here's some video on how the towing turned out.
