Rita and I decided not to do anything buy nothing and hang around on the boat. The weather was beautiful!
Spent a couple of hours helping Ron (Dragon Heart) and Dave (Galaxsea) put their masts up.
Worked a little bit on the boat removing the old GPS and wiring under the deck. Figured out a place for the new chart plotter on the binnacle, but running the wires will be a PITA.
We left the dock a little after 3pm, and headed over for a pump out. We really need to practice boat handling. Took us two attempts to get into the pumpout area. Turn out the holding tank was full AGAIN.
We then headed on a course to the south with an east wind on the beam with just the headsail. The wind was a steady 10-12 knots with 3 foot waves. We were doing between 5.5 and 6 knots most of the time. Rita spent some time on the wheel and did well. I still am not used to the wheel and found myself steering the wrong way to sail to the tell tales. All in good time.
Docking was not an issue.
