Last sail of the year

Took advantage of a break in the weather today to get in one last sail this year. Overcast and about 50 or so with a light southeasterly. Cool enough for a fire and a sizzle. Had the Bay to myself so sitting below was no problem while actually hove to off Swan Point.

Here are a few pics from today and the last few weeks.


Manto to weather
Reaching along the Mantoloking Shore this morning. Hope they all enjoyed it.


Ready to go
Earlier this month waiting for crew. Best late fall/ early Winter sailing yet. Keep it coming.


Reedy Creek
Beating up to Reedy Creek on a very warm December 10th.

Close encounters
Close enough. The Bay was up about a foot or so and fairly clear. Clear enough to get within inches of the marsh edge.


Here’s a new video of sailing along the all too near edge of the marsh on December 10th.


Foggy
Foggy morning in early December. No wind and little water. A watch below was called for.


Happy Shipper
Your very happy and grateful Skipper.

Well this has certainly been an eventful year with the return of Sjogin sailing in her home waters and her face all over the cover of WoodenBoat.

Thanks all for following along and here’s our best wishes to you gentle reader for a fine New Year.
