June 10, 2008 – sailing

Well, the intention was to do the BEER Cruise, but we didn’t exactly follow that plan due to the number of friends/family who wanted to join. I’m not the type of person to tell anyone that they can’t come along, so we came up with a compromise and that was to do our own cruise [...]

June 1, 2008 – sailing

It was a beautiful sailing day. Wind started around 5 knots and increased to around 10 knots before settling back down around 8 knots.

All day long the wind was perfect and sea cooperative. We didn’t [...]

No photos to show for today, but we did get in two short sailing ventures. We took my father & step-mom out for a sail around noon for a couple of hours till the wind picked up a bit and we decided to head back in to the dock for a bit to just hang [...]

We made it out for a few hours after the showers had passed. We took two of my brother-in-law’s and their SO’s out for a sail. The PYC held a small boat regatta that afternoon, so there were a number of other sailboat out in the afternoon.
