Independence day

Independence day
Took the day on prairie gold around Boston. Four of us motored out of the marina prior to the USS Constitution disembarking. Winds were low so we motored out to the edge of the harbor. We motored in to a location that we had not previously been that was north of Brewster islands and east of Lovell Island. we anchored in 20 ft of water and relaxed for 2 hrs while eating bbq chicken and a delicious beetroot, walnut and lettuce salad. One of us went for a swim - v brief.

We then headed out to the east and it was perfect spinnaker weather. Since we weren't in Boston anymore we flew her. Well we are allies and we do pay our taxes.

We headed back into Boston with close reach sailing from castle island to the coastgaurd station. All four crew were on - we needed to constantly trim sails for the gusting winds -12to 20kts. It was exhilarating. We docked, ate dinner and watched the north end fireworks.
