Ship's Log 13 June 2009

Wow, what a day! Got to the marina a little after one and the wind was stiff and ideal for a sail out of the slip. The sail out of the slip was less than ideal, however. Rigged genny and main, but soon put up working jib. Bumbo is very sensitive to trim and responded well to the right set of sails. We were soon tracking down boats to windward. We made it most of the way to the dam by 3:30. Winds were shifty, but remained stout through out the day. Encounters with S/Vs Tardis and Wraith -- beautiful boats both. Returned to slip under sail and made up for launch with a gentle, step off of boat landing.
