Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

Slightly chilly, overcast, and breezy NE 10-15 or so. Set out and sailed towards the bay bridge, intending to do a symetrical spinnaker set to run back, but about halfway out we noticed water coming over the floorboards. I took the helm and let people familiar with the boat get to work below. Bilge pump wasn't working but I did get a hefty spray of nastiness when they started with the manual and we were on a port tack. Bleh. Tacked back towards Annapolis and got the discharge over on the low side, then engine on and dropped sails. Had to hold the throttle heading back but I think it's fixed now. Super fun crowd on the boat, and I am allowed back next week.
