After two days of laboring on the boat, it was high time to go out and play.
Walking to the boat so that it is head to wind, allowing us to hoist the main sail at the dock.
Heading out!
Getting the jib sheet ready around the winch trying out the new cross-sheeting arrangement
Hoisting the jib by pulling on the jib halyard
Trimming the jib for a loose upwind
And off to the gate
Deciding to go on a reach in the direction of Sausalito, so trimming the jib to bear away. We didn't have the instruments on, but it was probably blowing 17-21 knots or so, typical of this time of year.
and off we go!
Serge is a happy bunny and found something to keep him busy while Nat practiced some single-handed of the boat.
What a beautiful evening
We did take a reef in just so that we could try these reefing lines that gave us some much trouble.
Waiting for the sunset on San Francisco Bay
Reaching back in the direction of the Club
