A gray day in Solomons
Out for a quick after-work sail on Barba Roja ahead of some storms. Conditions were very gusty, so we just flew a headsail, and managed a quick trip up to the bridge and back, both on reaches. We got some sturdy puffs on the way back from the bridge and rounded up a couple times. Finding ourselves with some extra time, we took the long way into the harbor through the inside channel, somehow still on a reach. We never put in a single tack the whole evening. Nice to get out and a nice sail despite the threatening clouds overhead.
