Perfect weather, sun, warm and a very light breeze; a PERFECT day for another one on one with Hank!
this sail was very special... we were greeted by a pod of dolphins! Must of been at least 50 or more!
At first we motored to the pod, with the hopes that our engine noise will attract them and have them ride our bow wave... Well that was the plan, but no one seemed interested in joining us, they kept to themselves. Hank did manage to get some pictures and a few video shots. Finally Hank turned off the engine just drifted with the current amongst the pod of dolphins.
The sail home was relaxing... had a mini race with an unsuspected sailor, he seemed to be game for a race, as he appeared to be adjusting his sailing a lot closer than before. We sailed very close to him, to the point that he was always blanketed our sails, making it impossible to pass him if we continued on the tack. Hank jibed me, so we can change course... A good move on hank's part, as after that we gained a lot of speed. With our bimini top off, Hank could now easily see my trailing tell tales and adjust my main sail. Needless to say we "won the race" :)... of course. :)
Arrived home safe and sound.
