Full Moon Sailing
22 June 2013
Our niece Jennifer was in town along with her beau and friend. Since it was also a full moon weekend we thought it might be a good idea to take them sailing as none of our guests had ever done so.
The breeze picked up a bit at sunset and it looked like it would be a nice sail, so we tossed off the dock lines put the boat in forward and were blown back deeper into the slip. It seems we have lost propulsion. Not sure yet what the problem is, but I know the shaft is turning when in gear. I don't know what could have caused us to loose a prop but that really is the only thing that makes sense.
Once we got done with the fire drill and got the boat tied back up we had a nice dinner that Kathleen brought for us (even the vegetarian found something to eat).
