Had the full crew on today (Trisha and I). Left the dock at just about peak high tide, temperature at 53 and the barometer at 30.22.Winds were supposed to be light - out of the south, but when we got to the marina, there seemed to be a bit more wind than forecasted, so we decided to sail a bit.  Got the sails up right away - as the first mate took Bubbles out and stayed on the helm for a while, letting me take care of sails.  Wind was light, but apparent wind was getting up to 10 knots, so we were doing well tacking down Langford Creek.... that is...until...the wind...died.

We turned at that point and slowly sailed back up river, eventually anchoring on the west side of Cacaway island for a bit of a celebration - wailing to our place and dropping the anchor as we pulled in the sails. After our little celebration and some down time, headed on back in to the marina. A couple hours sailing in light winds, an hour or so goofing off at anchor and a short ride back - what a beautiful day - as it did manage to get up to 60!!
