Kit on Cassiopea gave us a tow out of the harbor. The wind picked up enough for us to sail reliably as we cleared Pillar Point

Nat 'managing' the two. Eg. making sure the main doesn't fill and steering straight ;-)

We hosted the genoa afterwards as the wind was pretty light for the close-haul portion of the delivery. It was Serge's first ocean trip

We had some company. We left with a ton of other boats and we had boats surrounding us the whole time

Back to the Bay - bearing away as we were clearing Seal Rock

It was a great day on the water, a lot of other people were doing various other boating activities. The fog even cleared up (after we docked...and cleaned up the boat)

I have no idea what these boats were but they were awesome. They seem to have all left from Baker Beach

There was a bunch of things to clean up once we got back to the dock including Serge's favorite's candies...and we couldn't quite take the boat out of the water, unless we wanted to lift her by hand...The bridle was somewhere else...
