Cruise to house - 09/22/09

This was a trip I was really looking forward to make, since we bought the house last year! It was a nice late afternoon, and we wanted to have some fun as Brigite was starting work again the next day.

So we headed off, in a NNE breeze, close hauled from Fort Wool to our house, and we made it without tacking. We found a good transit line for crossing the spit off Fort Wool and that is to line up the water towers in Buckroe and Ocean View.

About 8 kn of breeze and we used the #1 and full main. We could only sail to the house, get a few pictures then we had to head back as it was getting dark.

But a fun sail, taking about 3 hours. And I loved being able to sail to our house!!!
