Yes it was. Took a short sail (sans kids) to a favorite cove. Anchored,
swam and relaxed on bow. Leisurely sail back to the slip. Probably the
best, most relaxing day on Pony this season.

Oh, I guess I should have mentioned we never hit 11 kts. I guess that only
happens in the matrix.

We started back with the light #1 (actually measures 163%) When true hit
18k and I was tired of feather up to keep from blowing the sail, we dropped
it. Since we didn't want to fold two sails, we spent the rest of the day
under main alone. Being our anniversary weekend, we just relaxed.
Actually, Suzy relaxed, I watched.
Did you make it over Swan Point bar? Tide was pretty low.

I would call the sail back from Rock Hall exciting. We had put up the 155
and
before long the wind clocked to make it a beat with puffs at 20 apparent.
Wound up putting a reef in the main. Should have started with the #3 but
when
we headed out it was a reach.

Didn't attempt that yesterday since I knew it would be low tide when we got
over there plus it looked lower than normal to start with. Touched in Rock
Hall Harbor though waiting for a slip at Waterman's.

Yes it was. Not much wind on Sunday , but a nice day though. We got to
Rock Hall around 6PM (Sat).
Were you still there?
We anchored in Swan Creek, way up past the 30~40 other boats.
