last weekend for Julia and I. A perfect November Sardine morning. I got underway about 10:00; light southwesterly with bright sunshine and a few scattered cirrus. Temps in the high 40’s, certainly cool enough for a fire. Grilled an English Muffin in butter on the stove. Good smells. One on these mornings I’m going to try a full bacon and eggs breakfast.
Julia joined me later with a pier head leap from the Tee Dock. Reached over to the club and hove to on Port for a while till I realized we had a knot and a half (well at least one) northerly current setting us down toward the bridge. Eased the jib to get going and tacked over to Swan Point where we were out of the current. I had a watch below with Julia and a second cup of tea and rum. Simple pleasures.
Ready to go; very light breeze. Perfect for lazy sailing as slow as I can.
Cinnamon muffin at the sizzle.
Julia keeping herself and her coffee warm. No puff backs since I started stuffing a rag in the forward vent.
Waiting for a watch below
The Flatfish Charlotte hoping for one last sail.
