April 9, 2011

Attempted to sail up to Clipper Cove for a raft up with Nanaimo and Messing About. Got as far as the end of the estuary when 30 knt winds, a tide against me and 3 foot chop stopped me in my tracks. It may be that my transmission is slipping, but whatever the cause, I had little headway and decided to turn around. So did Messing About. Nanaimo, which made it to Clipper Cove ended up coming back to the slip as well. Pete made a fantastic paella and we had a great evening on Nanaimo back at Alameda Marina. The next morning Sandra, Doron and I went up to the IYC and made breakfast and ate out on the deck. We then went for a day sail shown below.
