...on Willoughby Bay.
A beautiful afternoon for sailing. Arriving late I stayed on our little bay enjoying the nice east breeze blowing me along at 7 knots. Anchored on the east end, dinner was a can of Wendy's chili waiting for the race to start.
After the race I motored back to my slip. Unfortunately with the 15-20 knot SE breeze after 3 tries, I gave up on backing the boat down the fairway. While a joy to sail, my Nonsuch 30 stubbornly resists backing unless the wind is light or in a favorable direction. This is because the mast in the front acts like a wind vane. This effect can be overpowered by keeping the boat moving fast in reverse. However I'm not that comfortable entering my slip in reverse at 3 knots. Driving in forwards worked better. Nobody injured and not paint scraped off. Haha...
