Had a Hawaian good time

Post by tom clayton »

its why i bought a macgregor, today we went outside of the bay out in the deep blue swells were pretty large to say the least we motored out because we were out looking for whales and as soon as we left the bay we came upon one just floating along next to us. it was fantastic. the wife tried to get pics but failed to produce any with substance ah well next time. we did put up sail for a while just because but found we were way to interested in finding more whales so we dropped sails agian and off we went. we did get beat up a bit in the swells but quickly learned to surf the boat at 3000rpm surfing speed got up to 20mph it was awesome. Spotted more whales but never got close again did see a couple breach off in the distance. we came back into the bay and the rain was coming down i truly enjoyed blowing by another sailboat trying to head in and i just left him in the dust or should i say downpour. Today we learned some lessons saw some amazing creatures and had a great day all in a Mac. :D
