Andrew and I took Andrew's friend Kyle fishing and sailing today. We left the slip at about 11am and first motored out to the end of Alameda point to fish for whatever was biting. We caught one Flounder, one Bat Ray and several crabs. Two got away.

Next we sailed over to Angel Island. The winds were blowing about 20 knts across the slot and 18 knts down Raccoon Straights. We had thought about taking a hike on AI, but the prop is still acting up and I did not want to chance an accident. So we headed back to Alameda. As we approached the slot winds were blowing in excess of 25 knts, so I but in a double reef and we actually had a comfortable sail across the bay even in those high winds.

Got back to the slip at about 6 pm
