Dobbs and I invited Bev and Brad, our neighbors from across the street, to join us for an afternoon sail. There was just enough wind (east at 5-10 knots) to keep it interesting as we sailed north, rounded Red 16 (which may now be Red 14...channel re-numbering...), and wafted south past Charlestown.
Bev and Brad were great company and we all had fun talking while working the boat together. We returned to the dock at 4pm, bid our friends adieu, and began breaking Grace down for haul-out. We pulled off the headsail and put Coquille on the dinghy rack.
From San Domingo Creek, my husband Dobbs and I, aboard our Columbia 31, explored our way down the Bay for the next 33 days. We visited several small isolated communities of working watermen. It was a dream fulfilled for us; in fact, even more than we'd hoped for.
