The evening was spent at dinner with friends and then a quiet evening watching the sun set. The next day was cool with winds from the S & SSW at 8-10 with gusts up to 15 mph with a full moon setting.We raised the sails after the bridge and had a fantastic time. Managed to get Soteria's speed up to 7.8 mph! Honest, the GPS had it logged. It was great to be able to finally sail. We spelled each other 30 minutes at the helm and it took 90 minutes to get back to the marina. Elden had to take a few photos to share our experience.
Plans are in the works for the next sail, either Bath or Belhaven. Taking it one step at a time stretching out our horizons.
Till then, fair winds and following seas to all.
Lovely photos! So glad that the cruising has begun. I absolutely love the shot of Susan at the helm--like Reepicheep headed toward his True Home.
ReplyDeleteThe repair looks sound on the last post--I didn't login to say so.
Hope you are drying out--the weather channel says so.
Keep those smiles!
