Niki and I had a plan to go to Cutty for lunch, but had the tides all wrong. A falling tide meant that we would have to stay in the harbor until the change of the tide.

So we sailed up the bay towards the Weepeckets. Passed Dave and Joan in NextDimension with the BYC cruisers also heading for Cuttyhunk for the weekend.

Came back via West Island & the middle ledge passage. Laser racing outside the breakwater.

Lots of wind. Not much sea state and averaged over 6 knots. About 27 miles all told. Perfect sailing.

New battery seems to be doing the job. Voltage had only dropped 0.2V by the end of the day.

The roller furler played up again. Seems that some of the duct tape on it jammed it up and stopped it rotating.
