Memorial Day Sail

To cap off a long weekend of sailing Yolande and Phil took Tim and Lorraine (a blog follower) out for an afternoon sail. We left the Constitution Marina with great winds but poor visibility. We sailed out to Long Island (within the harbor) where we anchored ate cheese and bread followed by barbecued Gulf Shrimp together with very small white, red and blue potatoes and salad. As we ate the wind turned 180 degrees and we had a continuous close reach to beam reach all the way back into the marina. Tim was a natural at the helm.

A late evening hazy scene of Boston from the inner harbor. This is not mist or fog, but smoke from a forest fire in Quebec! You could smell it too!
