3 @ Waikiki and 1 at Hanalei, some party waves w/ my son who's stationed out there.

15kt/NE and cloudy, but dry so we went for a spin. Jenn drove, even port-tacked an entire J105 fleet coming in from the AYC Fall race. She's getting much more confident in more conditions, not just single-digit windspeeds.
Once the racers went in, we had most of the harbor to oursleves, only a couple other boats around, all of us reefed and with part-furled jibs.
Caught the sun going to bed and the moon waking up at the same time, and 180degrees apart from each other, which only happens around the equinox. Got the pic entering Whitehall, the moon is to the right of Hackett's Pt. (edit- the software cropped the pano so you can't see either!) A lot of sailing traffic for a late Sunday, all returning from points South. We reached out to btwn 1AH and Thomas Pt, then closehauled back.
no wind... you were there, you know.
Sailed by the USNA vs USAFA women's soccer game flying a sheetposter that was apparently readable from the stands :).
Then a great sail out to R2 and home, perfect 10-12kts, light harbor traffic
just a quick evening out to R90 and back in with my wife and daughter. Well-balanced with a reef in the main in 15kt.
Thomas Pt was reporting 12kt, so we went- had the bay to ourselves! Storms to the South and on the Magothy kept everyone home, I guess. Oh, and- Monday. We were treated to a TRIPLE rainbow over the Bay Bridge- there was a second, non-inverted one inside the primary bow. The primary was particularly iridescent, too.
We went out to Hackett's can and back in, moored by sunset. Was nice to have our daughter onboard- she was away all summer.
Had several friends onbd for an afternoon, easy reach across to Matapeake, then back in to Horn Pt, and dinner in the creek. Optest for the new furler head swivel piece I replaced the day before.
