We had a very sporty sail to arrive at Mill Creek. Wind was westerly and gusty, but we tucked into a calm spot. Coming back to the slip the next day was quite another matter. West is BAD. It took 4 tries, and we ultimately ended up going stern-to (not our usual), relying on the help of 2 dockhands and a cheering section on Georjabelle. Whew!

Has there ever been a clear surface that could not be improved? That's how I feel about the white expanse of my kayak's bottom. That, together with an urge to buy souvenirs that don't take up space, I now embellish my kayak with stickers from my travels. So cute.

We are so behind. We've got to get Calypso ready b/c Rick is hosting work people for the Blue Angels. And we hope to get out overnight over the upcoming holiday weekend (though the weather looks far less than promising). But we clean stuff up, put the sails on, install the dodger and bimini, put all the domestic stuff back on board. Not fun, but now done.

Had plans to kayak this past week. Norovirus said nope. Planned to take Heron to the Sabre Association annual meeting at Gibson Island today. Too much wind. Well, at least it didn't stop a happy hour (dry) tool around the South River. Windy, but too nice not to.

Decided to switch from November to May for our Out Island outings, and it was clearly the right decision. With the exception of wildfires in Marsh Harbour, we had perfect weather for our catamaran charter in the Abacos. It's a little busier, but that didn't effect our enjoyment of the cays and the sandbars. Gotta do this again (and again)!

Rarely see this much of the bottom at the community dock. Unexpectedly windy today too.

Not just the predicted Small Craft Advisory and rain, but our neice's wedding weekend down in Virginia.

Calypso was dropped in the water at Jabins' and delivered to her home berth on Spa Creek. It's sailing season!
