This is just a quick report on Father's Day weekend. I stayed home on Saturday to meet my new grand puppy, Luna, who is only 3 months old. Given her age and threatening thunderstorms we decided this visit is best done at the house. After some family photos, a nice dinner and lots of fun in the yard, John Jess and Luna headed back north.
I spent Saturday evening finishing "Anchoring: A Ground Tackler's Apprentice" and I finally pulled the trigger on an anchor upgrade. We'll give you more on that later when it gets installed.
Sunday morning, I woke up and headed down to get a day of sailing in. The weather delivered the promised 7 to 10 kts of wind, but I had to motor out to the middle of the bay to get it. Still, I got a nice hour or so of calm sailing (3.5 kts of boat speed from 7.0 kts of wind).
It was a bit unusual in that I never started the AC despite it being a hot day. I only carried the bedding and a new long Seas The Day pillow. As soon as I arrived I began untying the dock lines, and as soon as I tied up, I closed up and headed home. I got my solid 4 hours in, but I think I spent a total of 4.25 hours at the marina.
