That's a 135 Genoa. We usually get a nice steady breeze around here.
Except for the other night. Ended up far from home when the wind died. Checked the gas can...very little. Oops.
Motorsailed at low speed and then cut the engine whenever I felt a breath of wind. Took forever.
I did call the TowBoat company and asked for a fuel drop. They said the couldn't do that, but offered to tow me home.
I have towing insurance, but couldn't bear the indignity.
The logical solution would be to check the gas more frequently. Instead, I've decided that I'm entitled to have a light air sail---maybe an asymetrical spinnaker.
A friend of mine has a big nylon drifter which comes in handy sometimes

Not easy getting pictures of your boat under sail.
I have friends with boats, and usually try to take a few shots of them. Hopefully, they will return the favor. I've given them disposable cameras to keep on board.
