kayak sailing across the wind

With both sails trimmed nearly fore-and-aft (straight along the long axis of the boat for non-sailors) and the kayak loaded for touring and therefore low in the water and more resistant to being pushed sideways, she sails across the wind (at 90 degrees to the wind for non-sailors). The land off to the right is Halkett Bay, Gambier Island, BC.
