Got caught with sails up by Bob Shoal and had quite a ride. Nice to know the boat can tolerate that sort of thing, though I'll be more cautious of approaching storms next time. That wasn't a beating that I'd like to repeat anytime soon. That was a day full of contrasts from HOT & no wind to the front. My brother Jim must have had a good time. He wants to look for a boat. All in all, had a great time!

Definitely need to clean the beard off the bottom, y'all left me way behind. Hope everyone got to the dock safely when the front blew threw. We had to ride it out off the slip, couple hairy moments when the gust were over thirty, I had the engine full ahead and we were losing ground but made it in with only a little rub on the pilings.
