Headed out to Mission Bay, making it in about 3.25 hours. The wind got up to about 12 knots as we arrived. We lounged around in Mariners Cove for a couple of hours, heading off at 3:30 p.m. Halfway home, the wind completely died so we had to motor sail for the rest of the trip. Such a pleasant day!

We were expecting a warm, leisurely cruise around San Diego bay, but soon the winds picked up to over 20 knots. Sea spray drenched the foredeck passengers, who continued to stay up front laughing hysterically. Iris handled beautifully, giving me absolutely zero weather helm when close hauled. Coming back, we clocked along at over 7 knots on a beam reach, with max of 7.53 and 8 knots over ground. Quite an exciting day!
