First Sail

First Sail

Today we had the longest sail we have ever had. We got out about 11 in the morning, the wind wasn't great. We passed a boat motoring out that even said good luck there was no wind. For the most part they were right.

We spent about 45 minutes moving around with the sails barely filled. Then we noticed a boat come out and motor straight out for a mile or so, then they put up their sails and took off.

We set the motor and headed out deeper and then we really caught the wind.

We sailed further out than we have ever sailed. It was a really great time, we got up to about 4 knts of speed at times, and practiced tacking and jobbing several times.

We also came in later than we ever have, with it starting to get dark as we came in. By the time we tried up it was dark.
