Got to the marina pretty early and before I could go out, had to connect the ground RF wires to the newly installed seacocks. That took a little bit of time - not hard... just a small space and since I didn't install the seacocks... wasn't quite sure if the nut I saw was the nut I was supposed to use! Since it didn't leak when undone, I assume it was. Got that all done and then after a chat with a student who was taking classes at the Maryland School for Sailing, I headed out.
It was partly sunny at the start, but the clouds rolled in and it was mostly cloudy to cloudy by the end. Temps were in the low 60's. Baromometer was at 29.94. Winds were out of the NNW at 5-12 knots with gust up to 15. Headed down the creek - got sails up before the first daymark and proceeded down towards eastern neck island on a nice beam reach. There were a few boats out - including a few sailboats. Turned and headed back towards the marina about 2 pm and made it back in at 3:45. Had some really nice speed on the boat - evidently had everything well balanced because the helm was easy... very easy. A lovely day out on the water - as usual!
