S.A.I.L.I.N.G.

We invited Jim & Linda for a sail today. Wayne went over to the dinghy dock to pick them up. Before we could leave, Wayne attached the dinghy to the mooring ball. Then we pulled away from the mooring ball and went out through Sisters Creek. We've been down this way with the dinghy, but never with the sailboat. It takes you right out to the ocean. 

This is the first time for Jim & Linda on a sailboat, other then a sunfish. It is a beautiful sunny high in the 70's day. Winds were 8-10 knots. We sailed out 9 miles, first through green water, turquoise and dark blue waters. Jim & Wayne both put a fishing line out. Jim is a captain of his own three fishing boat charters, back in NJ. He knows a lot about different kinds of fish. He was pointing out different ones he saw today. I wanted a Wahoo for dinner, but no luck today. Jim saw three dolphin's coming towards the boat. They stayed with us a few minutes. They were brown and white freckled, not the gray color. On the way back a sea turtle popped his head up for a look. Lots of flying fish. A lot of dead fish, big and small floating around out here in the ocean and in the harbor.

Linda looks like she's holding on for her life......not really.

This is a great picture of you two.....look at that water!

Thank you for bringing the goodies for lunch. We so enjoyed having you both with us today.

 We returned to the mooring ball around 4pm. Linda had a date with girlfriends for dinner at Burdines. We also had plans.

Every Wednesday, at 5:30pm, the city marina has a meet and great dinner. I whipped up hot dog & beans. We put Sailor in his crate and dinghied over. The place was crowded. Many different dishes, but I was the only one with hot dog and beans. The dish was scarped clean.
