WHAT?!?! No sailing?!?! Sorry, it’s true. This week, Hans heads off to Wisconsin, the land of cheese, for a family / friend reunion.

Of the tip of Door County, nestled between Lake Michigan and Green Bay, is beautiful Washington Island. Hans’s family has been coming here for decades, every year, at the appropriately named Sunset Resort. Big skies, and big water.

Every day brings something new, whether it’s storms, low flying aircraft, boat rides… All the while, sharing time with friends and family.

Our thanks to the Gallerts, Sanders, Lusbys, Spitlers, Krugs, and Lieberts for a wonderful summer.

TO THE BEACH!!!… again! More beach sculptures, impromptu beach cleanup, and in the process, Lynn finds a bubble wand and Hans finds two, yes two, matching, yes matching, fenders… Allow me to explain why that happens, and how to avoid it!

Then, Hans takes a group of his closest friends for a beautiful sail across the Lower Bay for a swim in eel infested.. Uh, i mean, dolphin (and jellyfish) infested waters.

As always, the music in Sailing Inconceivable was written and performed by Hans specifically for this video series.

In this episode of Sailing Inconceivable, birds eat fish, kids learn sailing, and Hans takes his sweet little boat out for another solo sail.

Lynn and Hans have gotten into the sea life surrounding them on the boat. Particularly, these little Least Terns – The way they flutter their wings before plunging to the surface for fish – So neat. Max does not seem as impressed.

Tuesday morning, some volunteer sailing instructors from the National Park Service showed up with a couple dozen school kids in tow. They took the girls out on the bay to teach them the basics of sailing. We had no idea this was a thing. Cool!

After Lynn and Max took off, Hans tries his hand at another solo run. Three hours got Inconceivable to Ambrose Channel and back, passing Coney Island along the way.

All the music in Sailing Inconceivable was written and performed by Hans for this video series.

Lynn hits the brightwork with gusto… Seriously… Had to drop the camera’s exposure a few stops because that white deck was blinding. Scrub scrub scrub!!!

Then, after her bath, Inconceivable goes sailing! That’s right!!! Hans’s first solo sail of 2017! He takes her up Rockaway Inlet before being chased back by an approaching storm. Short, but still super fun!

As always, the music is original – written and performed by Hans.

We did it! Took little sailing vessel Inconceivable from City Island to Brooklyn. The trip took about six and a half hours to cover just under 40nm, averaging 5.5knots! that’s pretty good, until you consider that most of that speed was because we rode the ebb out to sea the whole way, including the East River, were the current topped out at 4.4 knots at its peak! WOOHOO!!

Here’s a look at our track:

What an amazing journey. Not far, as cruising sails go, but, location location location, baby!!! Under those amazing NYC bridges, past instantly recognizable landmarks, and a pretty cool East River surprise – watch the vid, no spoilers here.

For those interested in examining the area closer, you can find them at NOAA’s chart page. You are looking for chart numbers 12327, 12339, and 12366.

So, enough chit chat.. Please, enjoy the latest installment of Sailing Inconceivable:

It’s short, I know. We have spent a lot of time getting used to Inconceivable, learning her systems, fixing this and that, we haven’t been filming much. But, in the interest of introductions…
