June Day Sail

June 27, 2009… We headed out around 10am for a two hour day sail. We had intended to sail much longer, but weather reports indicated possible bad weather surrounding the area and we could see the clouds dancing around us. We occasionally even felt raindrops come down. It’s too bad, because the bay was nearly [...]

Afternoon Sail

June 22, 2009… We took some friends out for an afternoon sail. Jaime, Annelle, and Thomas are in town visiting from Savannah. Annelle nor Thomas had ever been sailing before, so it was cool to be able to take them out. We just sailed around the bay for a bit before returning to the dock [...]

Father’s Day 2009 – Destination Relaxation

This morning was beautiful to get out on the water. We headed out sometime this morning, but didn’t pay any attention to the time. Wind started out around 8 knots, dropped to nothing, then picked back up to around 6 knots by the time we headed in. It was comfortable under sail, but really hot [...]

Saturday Sail

May 30, 2009… We left the slip early morning and headed toward Quietwater for the day. I came down with a sinus thing on Friday morning, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the day. Blake was enjoying himself. At one point the relaxation of the day overtook Blake and he went to sleep. Lots [...]

Friday Sail

May 29, 2009… We moved Monomoy over to the new marina this morning. The new slip is a dream to get in and out of. We have been fighting with the currents for over a year at the old slip. The new slip has no current and makes it so easy to get in and [...]
