Where were you?
Again, everyone is overthinking this..
That does sound fun!
Pre-stalking the ever changing course around Hog Island the day before sounds important.
We spent two days at Ayala cove, and two days at anchor off HMBYC, avoiding the excessive heat.
Do the marbles act as a trim indicator like a tennis ball in an El Toro?
Once anchored, we set an anchor alarm. It was blowing pretty good Saturday, and we were solid, in spite of the absence of a good riding sail. That night it laid down and was like glass, and the fleet of a couple dozen visiting boats slowly turned to face the sunrise. But just after 7:00 when I would have preferred to be still asleep, the alarm went off.
For a bowl of Skip's ice cream, what went wrong here?
The Sea is my Church; the Boat is my Pew.
