Up early with a cloudy day on hand. Wind seems from the northwest. Pat got up early and hit the lake for the sail back to the marina. The Commander and Kadizzle are enjoying morning coffee with excellent internet service. Hopefully we can get going quickly. Yesterday was a hard chug into the wind most of the day. About twelve miles were a decent reach with speeds hitting a steady six knots or better, but once the Sovereign rounded the point to go east it was a tight beat right into the wind. Sailing into the wind all day is a slog so the Sovereign pulled into Indian Hills for a rest. Paul came down to have a beer with us and we sat in the warm sun out of the gale for awhile.
Warren, and Pat skipped Indian Hills and went strait on to Heaven Bay. Should not say straight, a sailboat rarely makes a straight line anywhere. The Sovereign made it on almost one tack over to Heaven Bay. With all the crews tired we skipped the campfire and just had a gab session on the boats tied together back in the womb of Heaven Bay.
