Mild breeze out of the SSE, under 8kts for most of the morning. Was able to heave to on port for about an hour from just outside the basin to near Curtis Point. Usual breakfast. Great stuff.
Back by noon. The breeze picked up later and today; half a gale blowing now.
Ready to go. Easy to sail off the dock with the wind in SE.
Happy Skipper; waiting for the tea to brew and a watch below.
The view aft, Beatons to leeward.
Reaching along the Mantoloking Bay front. Went up to the bridge, gybed and reached back to the Yard.
One of my very few watercolors. Taken from the cover art from The Catboat Book. Photo in response to a WBF thread on members wall art.
