More Sunfishing

This weekend saw a lot of dinghy action at Heron Lake. Ross, who sails at Elephant Butte Lake "and beyond" -- including past voyages circumnavigating Vancouver island solo in Canada -- has two grandsons who'd never been sailing until a few weeks ago at the Rio Grande Sailing Club's Anniversary Cup. Ross's daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren decided it was time they learned more, and they visited Heron Lake this weekend. The Sunfish were ready and waiting for them. Here, Gerald shows one of the boys some of the basics of sailing a 'fish.
