Bill, great document presentation. Even for me it's a good refresher.
I was on the water this past Saturday and Sunday. Defiantly bring layers.
It started out warm on land, was nice on the water, was pretty cold after the first hour and that was at 3pm.
Looking forward to meeting some of the new people.
A great day to be out sailing for the 2024 maiden voyage. We helped Blue Skies pushed off the dock at 1100, then were soon underway. We put up the main and unfurled the jib on a reach as soon as we were clear of Borden Light Marina. SOG was 9+ knots for a portion of the trip. We arrived at the Navy Marina at 1320 - pretty good time!
