Hank stopped over today, just to clean / wax my hull, but as the day progressed, Hank decided to go of a short sail or just drift around the bay. Why clean and wax around the marina, if you can do the same out there... no ferry noise, or deal with their wash / wake.
After drifting around a bit, we decide to motor towards Elliott Bay, maybe stop over for coffee. As it worked out, the winds finally picked a bit on the way over to Elliott Bay.. to sail, or continue to Elliott Bay. We are out here to sail... so sail it was; we sailed for home.
The map below shows our route... the black line represents the drift / motor to Elliott Bay, the red line shows the sail route home, and the blue line shows the motor back.
All in all, is was a nice learning sail... solo sailing in light winds... worked great.
