Went for a sail with Phil Heffernan

this morning. It was his first time on Sjogin and I introduced him to the joys of heaving too. We got out before the heat built up, underway by 9:00. Even though the 5 to 8kt breeze was out of the west it was relatively cool (as long you were in the shade provided by the main).

Also went out yesterday morning. It started out promising with a SE breeze accompanied by a light fog. I thought it would hold, keeping the traffic down but it cleared soon after I got underway. Nice breeze nonetheless.

Practice Nest
Although it’s hard to see, the young Osprey are practicing nest building on the end of the crane boom. There are enough around now there’s competition for good nesting sites.
