  • Fellow sailor!

Got to the marina after gathering all the provisions necessary for the weekend. Had to do a few chores before having fun - so I emptied out the composting head - first time for the year (it was overdue) and then headed out.  Mid 80's - barometer was 29.84 and holding steady with winds out of the west 5-10 with a few gusts. It was lovely sailing... got out about 2:30 and didn't get back into the slip until 6! Had to wait a little before putting up sails as there were some small sunfish's out from the RHYC, but got them up before leaving Langford Creek and then I flew down the Chester. Did a few tacks and turns... thought about putting up the Gennaker for the return trip - but the wind was still good and close to being on my beam. All in all, another fun day. Had to get back to pick up crew for the weekend adventure!
