On a 40 sailboat named Dad's Dream, a boat named in honor of his father, Pete, and four friends set sail.

We mentioned that we expect to be heading into the wind on our final approach to Savannah. How is it that a sailboat, powered by the wind, can sail upwind?
To see where were when we posted our blog entry, simply copy the coordinates from our post and paste into Google Maps: http://maps.google.com/maps (For example: 18 19.15N 64 52.00W)
Note: You may have to zoom out a bit unless we’re close to land.
