This past Friday San Diego Bay was opened for recreational boating. Today I went for a solo sail. I intended to stay in the bay with full main and jib to check for gremlins after sitting for a month. I couldn't resist the view so kept going out to the ocean. WNW wind varied between 10-16 knots. Reefed the main and jib right before the point, everything balanced, a great sail with typical swell. Unfortunately it was tack city coming back due to wind direction, so ended up motoring most of the way in (against the tide).

Sweet. I miss that swell. Great feeling as you work with your legs and stay stabilized. Once, coming downwind from the Ocean through the Golden Gate, I had a magical hour with batches of dolphins off our port quarter, sitting on the port perchseat. Heavenly.
Thanks for the photos.
Thanks Jon....I needed that. :D :clap
Thanks Jon... we took a season off, so the last time I've been sailing was 2018! Miss that feeling!
