After some overdue work on a stantion, I was ready to head out. Unfortunately by then it was right at peak ebb tidal flow! My slip at OPCM is close to an opening in the seawall and the current squeezing around the seawall gets quite powerful. It wants to push me back into my slip and even worse since it is at an angle, so when backing out I occasionally get pushed sideways against the pilings. Eventually I'll work out a technique until another slip becomes available. With the current and narrow fairway, backing in is not always an option.
Comfortable temperatures and a NE breeze for the evening. Nice sailing for the racers and perfect for sleeping. I love the hot weather but prefer 60's for an overnight low over 90!
