Brigite & I took some time to take the boat on a hot Saturday afternoon. The Southerly was strong and building to over 15 knots. We used the #2 and a reef and were still overpowered.
We sailed around in the bay, then back to the beach by the house where we anchored and started the BBQ.
The tide was out, and we bumped up on the sand as we approaced to anchor, and we now have that WP on the GPS. It was soft and we were going very slow and there was no risk of any damage, etc.
We had a glass of wine and lit the BBQ, when storm clouds and rain appeared on the west horizon over Hampton, so we decided to raise the anchor and motor sail with the #2 up to East Beach and cook/eat there, closer to the cut and marina.
The storms passed just to our N and we only got a few sprinkles of rain, but a strong wind from the W. It was choppy and B was not feeling well when down below.
We ate, hung out as the wind and chop died down, and headed for home in the dark - probably around 10pm.
