Memorial Day Cruise back from Moody

Ricky Carroll

4-Day trip total. TMCA event at Moody Gardens. Great fun. Allie helped me sail down. Camille helped bring the boat back. Our other guests drove down. Weather is not correct! Front hit on the way back. Wind backed from S16-20kts broad reach to NE on the nose 30-40kts. We motored up the rest of the way making 2kts into the wind, tacking under power. Coast Guard was quite busy. Four MayDays. We attempted to help one boat we saw with a skying, blown jib. He angrily told us to go away. Still great fun. No problems for us. We went into pfds and harnesses.
