At the very bow is Johanna Preston W5JLP, leaning out over the water. Behind her is her sister Louisa Preston KB5LBN, then Jen Sims W5JEN, then Derek Wills AA5BT (left) and Mrs. Preston (right.)

Johanna spent a lot of time at the bow of the boat.

It was a nice day for sailing, with some good wind.

Gene Preston K5GP has a Yaesu FT-100D and an antenna tuner on board the boat. He uses the back stay as an antenna, and operates CW.

This was not far from the Hudson's Bend area of the lake.
