We went sailing on Saturday 5-21-11. My wife Debbie had to work so it was Bob and Joe from work and I. Joe has been out a few times before and is learning how to sail and Bob has never been out sailing before.

This was the first sail since we re-powered and put in the new sole and upholstery. So it has been since last Thanksgiving. Sure was nice to get out on the water. We sailed out past point Loma with some nice winds in the low teens. There was a few foot swell and fairly calm seas. Just a nice sail. The sun came out for a while in the afternoon. We then sailed back into the harbor past the Embarcadero.
The new motor got a short work out and ran fine and all systems worked just fine.
I did lose our boat hook because I think I did not fasten it securely into the brackets. Next time we will add some bungee chords to the fastening just to make sure it does not go to Davey Jones locker again!
On the way there we shot this little video.
