"Flying a hull"

This last week I headed down to San Diego for some fun.  I hadn't been sailing in ages, and it was about time to reboot on one of my favorite pastimes.  One of my friends who lives down in the area had worked a summer down at a local aquatic center, so we were able to take out a fantastic 16' Hobe Catamaran for a couple of hours completely gratis.  The wind was fantastic, and the bay wasn't too crowded with fellow sailors.

After an hour or so, the wind picked up a little and we were able to catch it just at the right angle to be able to do one of
<------these.   We call it flying a hull.

I'm not going to try and describe the thrill of it all, but I'll just say this: Adrenaline Rush.  If you haven't been sailing before, go take a class.  I'm sure you'll be glad you did.  And for those who understand the joy of sailing... what are you still doing on dry land?  The water's great, get to it!
