Spent the night on Callisto and then it was beautiful Sunday morning with winds around 20k. We got safely off the dock, put our main up, sailed across the bay for a bit and managed to get back to our dock without any damage. We started checklists for leaving the dock and leaving the boat. Excited to get those laminated. We also got another knot stuck in the track on the boom when unfurling our main so we're going to need to look in to that.
Finished off the day with so much fun on the beach!
After a fun day of seminars I went out on Chris' catamaran Three Seas for the first time to place the racing marks for HHSA. I used the opportunity to mark their exact location in Navionics for the upcoming season Then we had a fabulous Taylor Swift Dance party onboard with incredible new friends.
We brought Callisto from Shipwright to her new home. Jayne and Mark were there to greet us. It took us a comically long amount of time to get underway but we didn't break anything and we'll get faster.
After studying forrevvverrrrr I broke out and spent a day on the water with Jayne Durden and Mark Burrows on Happy Place and it was just what the doctor ordered. The wind was perfect.
We got ready and stayed on the boat for Boat Prom 2024 at the Cheseapeake Yacht Club. It was an amazing weekend and a great chance to test out the diesel heater. Turns out, it's my favorite thing ever.
Final race of the season! Finally feeling like I'm starting to get into a groove on the jibsheet. So grateful to Jayne Durden.
The weather finally cooperated for us to anchor out in Hering Bay. We had a magical evening where the kids each caught several fish and they had fun putting the crab pot out and checking on it.
The night was rough, there was minimal wind and what there was was coming from the south so it seemed likeit should have been perfect but there were waves (not that big, like 1-2ft) that were hitting us right across our beam which was making the boat roll like crazy (dishes were crashing),somehow magically the kids didn't wake up but Colin and I had it rough, even sleeping seperate.
The next day we sailed out into the bay and back (once the wind chose to join us). We noticed that now that Colin and I are more comfortable with what we're doing it's easier for us to involve the kids in the various sailing tasks which they are absolutely loving, especially G.
