Live Free or Die!

Two patriots from New Boston joined the Admiral and I on a luncheon day sail yesterday. Weather was sunny with a slight chill in the air and the wind blew 8-12 knots. Captain Ken and Vice-Admiral Lyn are on their way to Yosemite, rough life. A good time was had by all with only one queezy stomach. SEMPER PARATUS !

Wow, what a day on the water. San Juan Jeff crewed this afternoon on a sunny, warm and calm day on the sea. Wind was 6-8 knots so we didn't break any speed records but the sunny conditions made up for the lack of wind. Water temp is still chilly, 59-60 degrees.

Genoa, Spinnaker, Gennaker...

On our recent crossing from Catalina we were able to fly our gennaker.

Q: What's that?

A: A sail that is the combination of a genoa and a spinnaker. It's asymmetrical, like the genoa, but larger and more colorful and flown like a symmetrical spinnaker.

This may be on the quiz next time you're on the boat.

Let's go sailing!

Avalon, Howland's Landing and Cherry Cove...someone has got to do it!

A Voyage to an Emerald Isle

The Admiral and the Capt enjoyed the colors of Spring and even got a glimpse of a bald eagle returning from Ballast Point.

Another Great Day On The Water

The Admiral and the Captain were able to cast away for the afternoon today. The Admiral performed the normal pre-departure inspection and before you knew it, we were sailing. Winds were 12-15 kts, sea was calm, it was sunny but the air still has a bite to it. Plus the Captain (hoping not to be demoted) forgot the camera, oh well...
