Good start. I did foredeck with Sarah. Strong ebb but there was decent wind, thankfully. New electric motor named! Old one is “Darren” and new one is “Tabitha”. She’s real pretty!

Clear skies, mild wind

Gusty and mostly sunny with medium breeze (10-17 knots). Sailed full main and yankee with good point upwind.
