On my way back from Bodkin Creek
Headed towards Tolechester.
Parkside to Bodkin Creek: It was a beautiful crisp morning with the winds from the north northwest 10 to 13 temperature was 72 to 77 and a bright and sunny day. I helped Steve with his electrical problem and as low tide was getting lower I decided to head out. Sailing was very good, and I went behind Heart Miller Island and into the cut. I hit bottom but motored through it. Then I headed to Bodkin Creek where the water was fine out on the entrance but very low at Ralphs boat. I was able to dock so I could visit. We had dinner and chatted and worked with his telescope in the evening.
Bodkin Creek to Parkside: I left early to be sure there was enough water to get out of the Creek. We had about 7 feet when I left so I motored out of Bodkin Creek and when I got out into the Bay, I found there was great wind from the north. Turns out it was north NE 10 to 12 knots and a crispy afternoon again with temperatures of 67 to 75 on a sunny day. I let out both sales and was sailing on a port close haul all the way to Tolchester. Then the winds died down to less than three and the black flies started biting. So, no wind, and biting flies, sent me home. I got into the slip cleaned up and relaxed. It was a great visit with Ralph and Margaret.
