Taking advantage of some great weather

We actually went sailing this past Tuesday, and the weather was perfect.  We warped with the tide out and ran into some 5 to 6 footer at the breakwater because the wind from the east was opposing and a swell had set up from the east.  Of course we had one wave that sent the bow shooting straight upwards for what seemed like forever, and no one had a video cam going, damn.

Oh well, we just kept motoring until we were out of it, then raised the sails, and away we went.  It was blowing 10 knots and there were 2 to 4 foot seas with some roll to it, it wasn't too uncomfortable beating to wind.

A couple of hours like that, then a tack, that slowly turned into a beam reach and back to the St.John's MOA and it was time to call it a day.  It had actually lightened up some and it was still churned up at the breakwater, there were a couple of 6 footers.  We dodged a car carrier going out, as well as the usual assortment of boats and ferries.

A quick trip back to the marina, a wash down, and then it was time to head home, pour ourselves a 'dresser' cocktail, clean up, then head to dinner, sushi.
