I could be wildly optimistic (yes, wildly), but there might be wind tomorrow regardless of the forecast. Either way, I'll be sailing out of Richmond. Maybe slowly slowly, but on the water, and looking for (as Carliane might say) y'all.

Wildly optimistic or not, there was wind. Late wind, but it was enough to move Dura Mater. Or was that the 4.6 knot ebb? Well, whatever it was, we sailed/got flushed over to Point Blunt in no time, and it was lovely with all the cloud formations. Lots of people out there for one last sail before the relatives arrive.
When we arrived back at Richmond YC Harbor, there were twinkle lights on Six Brothers
And the sky looked like this as I covered the mainsail
Finally, in a blatant bid to upstage Surprise! before she comes back to E Dock, here is a photo of Dura Mater's Christmas present, snagged early.
Merry Christmas, everybody.
Anybody thinking of sailing on Boxing Day (i.e. Dec 26)? Room for two more?
Thanks
Max (& Jan B.)
Great photo's Jacquie. The colors in the that new Christmas line were perfect.

The weather looks pretty light. 0 gusting to 7, maybe 10 in the late afternoon !
Philippe is staying home. Red Sky is making excuses. Who knows? Maybe Steve K will stay up in the clubhouse drinking beer. DM and I are sailing.
What's the sched?
I'll be working on my speedo (actually S!'s speedo) but if I get it working I'd be down.
