Windy, windy, Birthday
Had a great day sailing and spending time with the girls. The wind kept us on our toes (gusting to close to 30Kts) but it also kept us moving.
We had a nice ride out, and a bit of a motor back into little misery where the girls and I explored the island and "micro misery Is". Mom stayed on the boat and enjoyed the quiet.
Stopped for Mexican food on the way home to finish the birthday festivities. Another year older and wiser ;-)

Took Mom and Dad out for a sail. Not much wind today. Spent most of the day off Great Misery enjoying the warmth and sun. Tried the spinnaker on the way home, but there just wasn't enough wind. You can only putt at 1 Kt for so long, so we finally had to turn on the motor.

Let the season begin!
Took the Frary family out for a daysail and first of the season Great Misery barbeque. The weather and sailing was great. Eric took the wheel for part of the sail out and proved to be a natural helmsmen. Now he wants Dad to buy him a boat. It is great to be back on the water again after the long New England winter.

Super sail. Made great time, and had a great time. Too bad the season is almost over.

Swells made for bumpy sail. Also had to wait most of the afternoon for the fog to lift.
All the same we had a nice visit and spent time poking around the shops.
For dinner we grilled steaks on the boat, and then went out for ice-cream and elephant ears.
