20-22 knots south with choppy seas- pleasant sail reefed to Port Madison and back. Rum grog made by Captain Mark: 1 part sour, 2 parts sweet, 3 parts strong, 4 parts weak. Added nutmeg. Jane was brand new to sailing. Logan and Jane fun younger couple. Joni and Dennis very experienced older couple in their 80s…Joni was a hoot. Max and I made plans to take our kids sailing.

Chilly start to a lovely Solstice day sail on a new-to-the-fleet C&C with the new owners. Steady 15-18 knots of wind and excellent performance took us to Manzanita Bay for an anchored lunch (tried the anchor for owners first time) and then a sunny return to dock in time for catered Mexican food and a presentation on the Clipper 70 boats and race crew by a Windworks member. Fun day!

Amazing sunny warm 85 degree day, clear skies with 15-20knots N all day long. Started with -3 tide and finished at 15ft. Beat north up the Sound toward Edmonds then rode the flood home.

Motored to Eagle Harbor. Winds very light at 2-3 knots N. Mostly sunny. Had lunch at Docs and returned under sail, winds 12-15 N.
