Quick loop around Gallops Island.


Linda and I had some time to do a quick spin today so we headed out in the afternoon for a few hours.  The wind was very gusty and flippy in the inner harbor so we started out with reefed main and reefed genoa.

We were still hitting over 7kts at times.

We headed south through The Narrows and then turned up into the wind to cut between Georges and Gallops Islands.  One more tack to bring us up through Nubble Channel and back into the main shipping channel in Presidents Roads.

We had to do a couple more tacks before we could make the turn up into the inner harbor.  Once in there, the wind was all flippy and gusty again.  Calmed one minute, 7kts the next.

After we got back, we did an extra nice job cleaning up Fujin for Linda's Captain's party / openhouse today at the marina.

That is all
