Just a Quick and Simple Day-Trip

 


This weekend was another quick and simple day-trip.  Friday was my birthday and we had some friends over so after lounging around Saturday morning, we left late and arrived at Seas The Day just in time to eat lunch.  Lunch required a nap and we headed out mid-afternoon.  

Weather was cloudy with nice winds in the 12 - 15 kts. range.  

The photos pretty much tell the story... motored down to the #3 buoy and then sailed in some circles to keep us in practice with sail trim.  We arrived back a little before sunset, tied up and headed home.


Avoiding crab traps.


As close to wing-on-wing as you can get with a self-tacking jib.

There were a lot of places on the bay where the fish (and therefore birds) were very active.


I'm clearly the luckiest guy!



And... there's still some issues cropping up.  This is yet another place where fasteners are pulling out of the fiberglass.  Never Never Never buy a stock boat that's been used heavily in a showroom for a year.
