Me in the foreground. My buddy with the Potter 19 is at the helm, and one of my neighbors (also a friend) on the low side.
Sporty day. Started slow in the morning, 5-10kts. Built to 10-15kts, gusting to 20+ by the time we turned back north. Came out of Dog River and sailed almost to Fowl River, passing just west of Gaillard Island. Started to tack out and go east of the island on the way back, but we'd have had to tack several times, and the breeze was just too tempting. So, we headed back to the north and let it run. We were able to stay between 5.5 and 6.5kts the whole way back. We even ventured into the low 7's a couple of times while surfing. 30 minute setup (mostly due to excessive visiting and little concentration on the task at hand); and 52 minute takedown (not hurrying). Neither of my buddies had ever done it before, so I was visiting, trying to figure out how to explain what I needed each one to do (which they did well once they could figure out what I was trying to tell them), and trying not to forget anything.
I did have one mishap. Left the rudders down while coming up the ramp. That's a new one for me. Note to self; try not to do that too often...
Great day on the bay. One other sailboat, one crew boat, one guy running crab traps, and one guy pushing a pier-building barge. Otherwise we had the bay to ourselves.
Got a few more images, but my upload has stopped working... will try again later.
Edit: working now...
My neighbor got one shot of the dolphins that came out to check on us. They were all around the boat for about 5 minutes, then left for other entertainment. They got so close, the blowhole mist wet the side of the boat. The two he was able to "capture", are on either side of the bow pulpit aft port stanchion, very close to the boat.
looking like this in November
