winds 5-10 picking up as we crossed the bridge tunnel and headed north east.  sunny and clear skies. 

wind was from the south with an ebb current. perfect conditions to sail to thimble shoals light house. and we finally made it. 

we were crossing nicely on a beam reach and went quite aways while we were talking about gibing the sails. 

that traveler definitely takes some work. remember to let out the main first so there isn't so much pressure on it. 

on the way back we saw a navy helicopter training and pulling a good sized boat out of the water with sailors on it. it was wobbling all over the place at first and then settled down. they set it down and it took off. 

getting her back in the slip Ray and I got the lines right away but it was hard to get the boat over to the piling to tie it off.
