Dennis wasn't feeling well enough this weekend to join us so Carolyn and I headed down to Newport early Saturday afternoon for a sail. The wind was rather light and a little flooky but was mostly abeam which allowed us to sail down to the jetty and back with only a tack or two. Our biggest problem was getting out of and into our slip. The engine is a bit rough, just running on three cylinders, and the transmission doesn't like reverse very much. Thankfully a good sea scout helped us as we docked!
After our cruise up and down the bay, we enjoyed a glass or two of wine along with bread and cheese and grapes while watching others coming back to their berths. Then we cleaned up the boat and headed down the coast in the BMW with the top down and the sun and wind in our hair. A beautiful day!

Sorry about that Bryce! I could have used you as mate especially while we were coming into the slip!
