We had our first sail of the season. As always I took the helm to take

our boat out of our slip. I motored out of our marina and headed down Langford Creek, into the wind. My husband hoasted up our Mailsail

and then I cut off the engine to sail quietly down the creek. It was beautiful!

after an hour of light 5-8 knots of wind and about 60•
we anchored at Cacaway Island for lunch.

my husband handled the anchor as I was at the helm.

While we were motoring back to our marina my husband suggested

that I take our boat into the slip. My husband was behind me the whole

way gently giving me directions on how to come into our slip!

SLOOWWW and BORING! And that is what I did to come into

our slip and enjoyed our first sail of the season!
