Sailing! Sailing! Sailing!

SHIP'S LOG:

     Went for a long sail on Saturday, over to Watch hill and back. It was a perfect day. The wind, once we got into Fishers Island Sound was perfect and we cruised along at 6.5 knots there and and back. The only down side was that once out of Fishers Island Sound the wind all bit disappeared, but what the heck, it was not like we were going anywhere or that we basically didn't have all the time in the world. It was a perfect day, not too hot, low humidity and a few puffy clouds. You couldn't ask for better. If tomorrow is as promised, I will be out again as the loft is closed for lack of work and I am not scheduled to drive the launch. Ah, too bad it is June instead of the cusp of September.
