Went out early again this morning before the crazies took over the bay. Nice little southerly that shifted to the southeast without the usual calm intermission.

Busman’s holiday
Set up the folding chair on the foredeck, reading and watching the marsh drift by. Reading a book by the Captain of Brilliant, the famous 1932 Olin Stephens schooner, about her Atlantic crossings in the late 90’s.
My son David was out in his C&C24 Claire. He came in Third in the Spinnaker Class in the Metedeconk Spring Series
Renewing the seizing on the tiller line.
