Sat Evening Cruise Aug 7th.

Been busy racing in Newport (Rolex J/105 ECC's), and Harbor Springs (Little Traverse), so not been much cruising on Silver Fox over the past few weeks.

But took the boat out today, as there was some breeze out of the NE, around 7kn, and a warm sunny evening. Sailed upwind and got some good upwind settings on the main with the AP driving. Brigite had to do paperwork so I was on my own.

Sailed out past L to the channel markers, then put the chute up and sailed to the house, dropped the hook and called B. But the sun was settings, so it was getting late.

So I sailed back, and it was a lovely sail as it got dark.

Got in and rinsed the boat down and by the time everything was put away it was 10pm.

It was great to get out and have some quality time with the boat on the water!
