Went out for about an hour or so this morning, beating down to and almost hitting Reedy Creek Point. Cool enough with a 5 to 8kt breeze from the south. About 40 when I got under way with a building breeze and a hot stove.
Had a visit from a reader today. He’s a long time sailor/racer on Barnegat Bay and remembers Sjogin always being in that great slip at Beaton’s. Speaking of which, the breeze was just about perfect for sailing in to said slip. Tom was there to hand me my bow lines. No pics though.

Ready to go. Sjogin’s (and her Skipper’s) favorite breeze.

Beating up to Swan Point. Breakfast at the ready, I sailed up past the Point and did the usual.

Thought I had Reedy Creek Point on my starboard bow when I hove to and went below to get warm before heading home. Shift of wind and Oh S***. Tumbled into the cockpit, eased the jib and pulled the tiller line to weather and bore off in time. Fun.

The aforementioned reader, Dave Wagner. Nice surprise to meet a correspondent. Hope to have him out for a sail this season.
