Want to sail today?

That's awesome.. Nice to see 'virtual' acquaintances become real ones..

We've had nothing but good experiences meeting up with our (nearby) WA state SNers during summer cruises.

No pics Brad. I subscribe to a not so rare philosophy: "IfIcan'tpostthisg.d.picinonemoresecondI'mthrowingt hef-ingthingoutthewindowism". Maybe it's more of an ailment than a philosophy.
The sailing was interesting. Out and back in a variable breeze, WSW-WNW, light to moderate. On return we were set just left of the inlet by the current. Rather than tack I held on thinking that close in the outflow from the inlet would set us backward, becoming a lee-bow current, bow pointing a bit to the right, and allow us to enter. It worked. My pride was short lived though. I got crosswise to the slip and had to muscle and wiggle her in. Still glad we went.
