Memorial Day saw us taking a very relaxed outing, though not till after we heard the USS Constitution firing off her salute at noon. She and the large Coast Guard vessel were both done up in their finest to honor troops.
Winds were very light so we had to motor much of the way out of the inner harbor, not picking up much of a breeze till we got to Spectacle Island. The poor little boat was still stranded - love to know what happened there - and there seemed to be a little row boat out in the area.
Sailed out up the North channel for a little way then turned around to catch the gentle zephyr that was going to take us home. As is quite common, we got in a race with another boat which, due to outstanding helmsmanship and a fine sailmaster, we won (you can hold your applause; we're too modest to take a bow).
