Two Days, Two Fish!

We have been very fortunate!! Not only did we get out for another day of sailing on Saturday, but we also caught another striped bass, and enjoyed excellent winds!! Wooooooooohooooooo!


An image of the waves/spray coming up from the bow.
The seas were ~2-3 feet, and wind was sustained 13-16, gusting to 25-30!


A picture of the horizon, picture looks a bit off you say?? Just relative to the boat heel tacking on the way back in.

We got caught in a surprise "competition" on the way back in, to beat the other boat tacking with us, so Dustin and Yolande were working hard managing the genoa, Phil was at the helm, and Rochelle working the traveler on the main.


Yolande uncleating the genoa during a tack, so that the genoa can pass to the other side...get ready with the winch Dustin, she is speedy!!

Dustin winching in the genoa, watching the tell-tales intently.

Back at the marina after winning the "competition", Dustin shows off today's catch which was caught and landed just before we started tacking back into the harbor...what a day!

Dustin with striped bass, day 2, even bigger than the previous day's catch!
