A September Daysail

Vicky heads back to China Today so Saturday was our last chance to sail together for a while.  It was just a pleasant daysail with the two of us.  We set the sails for a close reach and sped across the bay... almost all the way to Romer Shoal Light at 7 knots or so without even trying.  There we turned around... heaved to... then tried to sail back (and realizing we made such great time due to wind and tides all going with us).  Since we wanted to meet John for dinner we took in the sails and turned on the engine.
