Last sail in November

The season is coming to an end.  The weather looked good on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Rain on Thursday.  Norm was interested and available Tuesday and Wednesday.

David offered to haul me out on Monday.  I asked for Wednesday and we agreed on Wednesday noon.  We scheduled Cygnus for 2:30.  Had lots of problems getting a hold of Ted to see if he was available.

I biked to the club on Tuesday for 2PM.  Norm had some rain just as he leaves the house.  We were blown north into the empty Talisman dock as we tried to leave.
I tested the engine on the way out and could achieve 3200 RPM doing 6.4 knots.  We probably could have done a bit better.

We pulled out the head sail down to the gut.  sailed passed the church and some drizzle started.  We were a little concerned but I decided to continue on.  Eventually, we turned back and ran for the service dock. 

I winterized the engine but could not take off the sails due to light winds about  25 degrees off the nose.

I rode back home, having a nice supper with supplier Richard.
