Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail
  • A little sailing, a little music
  • Sailed into the slip

Got the riding mower at home running (long story) and lawn mowed then headed out to the boat for my reward.  Did a few token boat jobs and headed out into a southerly breeze similar to the day before.  The wind lightened up so I didn't get much past the radio towers before heading back.  Brought the cello along and got some practice in well out of earshot of the neighbors in Whitehall Bay.

On a lark I decided to try sailing into my slip at Whitehall Marina.  The little wind we had was generally from behind so I took down the main and sailed the tight turn into my alley under jib alone using the roller furler as a throttle.  Docking went smoothly, grabbing the line on the piling and getting it around the jib winch to brake.  Brake may be an overstatement given my sub-one-knot boatspeed.

Another gorgeous day!
