Roland's First Sail Of The New Year...Fran and I sailed a couple of times already.

Roland and I met on the Bay around twelve noon as planned, we sailed apart for an hour or so then we gradually melded together for a photo Op. We sailed from our home Port and gradually met, from two directions, in Swash Keys. From there we sailed through Baker Cut and back home. Starting out, our craft required a reef but on the way home the reef was shaken out and we enjoyed a leisurely beam reach on the homeward leg of our sail.

Great day on the Bay, temps were in the 60's and the wind out of  the NNE about 15 Kts to start diminishing to around 7 Kts for the sail home.

Layered clothing was the dress for the day

Somehow we always manage to sail in close formation, I sort of dig it!

    Layered clothing plus a dry suit would be the order of the day here. That looks like paradise from where I'm sitting.

    You hit the proverbial, "nail on the head", that's our Mantra down here when ever we greet someone. "Welcome to Paradise", "no shirt no shoes, no problem"; except for days like today of course.
