Morning Sail on Mother's Day
Over mothers day weekend we sailed about 70nm. On Saturday we sailed to Scituate harbor with the goal of staying overnight. However, when we go there it appeared that the marinas were not yet active. Mooring balls were in place, but since we dont drag a dingy we turned back to Boston to spend the late evening eating oysters at the waterfront cafe in the north end. During the sail the winds built while we had our spinnaker up. We got to about 8.2kts and then decided it was time to take her down. We also caught our first lobster pot of the season on our fishing lure.
On Sunday we set out at around 10am, headed out the north channel and then came in under spinnaker and anchored off Spectacle island for a mother's day bbq followed by a nap (at least for the skipper). Then we sailed back in the short distance to the marina under shifting winds. Lots of sail trim adjustments and a fun time.

Where's them jellyfish?? And did you ever receive the floaty thing for the underwater camera?
ReplyDeleteJellyfish are just uploading. And yes, I got the floaty thing as you call it. I haven't dared drop the camera in the water to see if it works.....
