I see Whales!

On an amazingly beautiful and warm February day, we had a very eventful and fun first sail of the year!

From dolphins to seals to multiple whale sightings! there was an abundance of sights to see as we tried to coax the lighter winds to get us moving and get the spinnaker to behave. We had some good gusts pushing us back to the marina trying to beat the tide but even with the engine’s help there wasn’t quite enough depth in the channel by the time we got there.

Everyone was very gracious and (hopefully) happy to spend a few more hours on the boat as we drifted out in the bay waiting for the tide. We watched the sunset, got to catch some of the NBA All Star game on the iPad and got into the “emergency rations” and wine cabinet.

Everyone did a great job of night docking and we arrived safely back after a very memorable day.
