Today was one of those amazing sailing days! All day it was blistering
hot, too rough to mess about on board much. But a few friends wanted to
see the boat and so everyone showed up at 6:00. By then some wind had
kicked up and when we cleared the breakwater a cool breeze was on our
nose. 10-15 knots.....

We sailed under main for 2 hours, plenty of wind for it and then, at
the request of a 12 year old new sailor aboard, sailed under the Throgs
Neck and Whitestone bridges. It was a nice sail, but the cool air was
really unexpected. We had a pretty spectacular sunset and Thomas was
having a blast with everyone and showing off trying to pull lines. He's
really had a good time on board thus far and I think we're doing a
great job creating a positive association for him with sailing.
The boat is just amazing...we ran down every sailboat we saw, passing
everything from J24s, to a Pearson 39 and S2 of some type. No
matter....no hurry, but really enjoying sailing this boat which is so
quick and responsive. Suzanne LOVES it.

I see you all were online again while we sailed. Good work!

Nutsy,

I envy you! Don't think the wind as high a you say, but no matter. You
had a breeze. Looks like a nice breeze for your Benny.

Nice to see a flat horizon and a honest gentle heel.

Ah yes; I remember well.
