Very heavy out of the west on way out Went full sail downwind and reached over to MHD bell then reefed Beautiful sail back , shook out reef Tacked a few times to let a race pass Then another boat was on our mooring at the end !

Track is mooring to mooring Placed 4th in class

Great late summer, earlier sunset sailing ! Wind picked up very nicely out of the south southwest. Plenty of 5 knot SOG reaching Ate tortitas de carne aka Guatemalan sliders back at the mooring

Truly outstanding sail ! Went out the main channel between Bakers and Misery and saw dolphins off magnolia ! Could see the lawns of Coolidge reservation clearly Nice sail into Gloucester Harbor and fantastic ride back toward halfway rock on close reach Cracked off and split the shoals at the breakers and back toward MHD. Wind on nose so motored through South Channel and pull jib back out down the fairway into the harbor

Light air We cleared a jam on the main furler in the way out Motored into Manchester Harbor and set the fenders and lines but the dock past the gazebo was full

Beautiful evening departure from Tuckers wharf back through the south channel . All motor.

Good wind on way out but against tide Planned to leave half way rock to port but it lightened out a lot so we headed into channel and back toward Marblehead Docked at Tucker’s Wharf before heading back to mooring

Phenomenal sail on a First 36.7 out around the Graves and Boston light. Sustained winds between 15 and 19 kts. Fun racer/cruiser; I was very at home as cockpit and cabin top almost identical to the 40.7 just slightly smaller. Helm is same large diameter. Spectacular sunset and city views thereafter !
