We had 12 boats come out, leaving the docks around 7:30pm.
The moon had already risen.
We marshalled out by mark 9 and went the Ajax Weather buoy, then north to mark 10, then home.
Winds were 6-8 knots from SSE, just forward of the beam to the Ajax buoy. We motored out to near mark 9, hoisted the main and spinnaker, and were able to get the boat moving betwen 3 and 4 knots if 7 knots of wind.
Once we got to the Ajax buoy, we doused the spinnaker and started the motor. The winds were dropping to less than 3 knots, so we dropped the main and motored home.
It was really bright out on the water with the full moon.
