Daysailing – Jan. 15, 2012

Wind was forecast to be around 10 knots in the morning and building to 10-15 knots by afternoon. We headed out after lunch with Ken off our stern.

The wind was more like 2 knots when we made it out onto the Bay. Ben and Ken were on the VHF discussing whether or not either of us were actually moving.

Pogo took her routine position of dolphin patrol, but we didn’t really see any this weekend.

The temp warmed up enough for Carol to wear her new bikini for about two hours.

Ken (s/v Private Stock) was the only other sailboat, aside from us, with sails up on the bay. We did notice a few in the distance along Santa Rosa Island, but sails were down. So we have lots of pictures of Private Stock.

Ken decided to drop his 110 jib and raise his drifter.

After a bit he swapped back out for the 110 when the wind picked up to around 6 knots. The next three pictures were taken from the same distance, just zoomed in each time.

The wind calmed right back down to zero, so we headed back to the marina. Though we had little wind overall, it was still nice to be on the Pensacola Bay, plus Carol wore a bikini in January!!
