First Charter

Passed my BC test yesterday, finally. Yeah! :-)

Chartered my first of 5 sailings today. I had a great crew who helped my traverse my new ropes. Great weather, too: winds between 10-15 kn, slack currents. We made good time to Angel Island. Docked in Ayala Cove for lunch - well worth the $10 docking fee - and checked out the visitors center. If you're into Nautical history, this is a fine place to visit and bring your kids, too.

Sailed around the island, down the "Slot" and surfed home. Surfing is fun! Especially in 3 ft-4 ft swells like today. Plenty of speed without all the splashing.

Next up: Bareboat Cruising (BBC) course in June. This WILL be challenging.

Happy Sails.
