Worked from the boat all day Friday.
At 2pm I decided to skip hockey and head out singlehanded for a last sail. Winds were forecast for 10 knots from the NW with gusts to 16, old reefed main and #3.
Went out on a close reach toward the Ajax weather buoy, doing over 6 knots, pounding through the waves. As I got within a mile of the buoy, the winds/waves were building, so I decided to turn back. On the broad reach back Still Time was constantly doing over 7 knots! At one point, I hit 8.5 knots surfing a wave.
What a great sail to end the season!
Trip Odometer: 7.81 miles
Moving Avg: 4.7 knots
Moving Time: 01:38:48

Took the sails/boom off, loosened the shrouds, and Peter and Rich help me drop my mast at the dock. Peter and I walked it over to the mast racks.
Stayed on the boat Friday night, and took this picture:
