Fun with the Spinnaker

Sherry Pickett

Left Seal Bay in light winds and clear skies and saw many seals and pups sunning themselves. Motored toward the channel between Vinylhaven and North Haven and through some fog that cleared before the narrower channel. Once out in West Penobscot Bay we sailed downwind in 12Kts from the south flying the spinnaker. Then we headed back to Rockland on a close reach. Sailed through some more fog as we approached the harbor but it cleared again as we passed the break wall. Had a little trouble staring the engine due to poor connection but Joe was able to fix the problem quickly. After tying up to the mooring ball heavy fog rolled in and we spent the evening on board enjoying another delicious meal prepared by Suzanne and playing Sequence.
