Christmas Weekend Cruise II

We left the boat ready to go on Saturday, and got out for a nice sail on Sunday. Did a Subscrub on the way out to clean off any grass that might be trying to call the hull of Silver Fox home! Some breeze when we first got out, but it died away pretty quickly.

Wind started off N, then went NW and faded away, with only occasional zephyrs. Then something started out of the NE and was 5 or 6 knots for a short while. Airport was reporting SE winds all afternoon, so we must have had some thermal action going on! Temp around 50 degrees, water temperature around 48 degrees.

We had a fun time and we had some great conversations and called Naomi & Ed for some good advice!

Put the boat away for winter again on the way back (removed all sails, skyed halyards, extra dock lines, etc), and left the boat in great condition. Again the engine was not an issue and we are happy to report that it worked perfectly!

Had a nice dinner & drinks at the Laughin' Gull Yacht Club (ex-PDX) after sailing.
