Type of watercraft:

Got to the marina about 10 and immediately got Bubbles ready for a sail. While it seems that the osprey and other birds have given up building nests on Bubbles, but that hasn't stopped them from shitting everywhere!
 

At time of departure the barometer was 30.26, temperature was 53 and the winds were out of the NE 5-10.... s bit breezier in Langford creek. Mostly cloudy with the sun peeking through every once in a while. Got the mainsail up quickly - and since the wind was at my back, waited a while to put out the Genoa. Sailed back and forth across the Chester from Langford creek to Reed Crkk a few times before heading back in (the wind was dying).

Had to drop the sails and start the engine earlier than I wanted to, but the wind was only blowing 2 1/2 knots. All in all a fun little sail!
