Windmill Harbour Marina - quiet day at the dock

All in a row, ready to race!

 I caught up on some Waterway Guide work and Ann enjoyed the excellent weather in the cockpit. There have been a lot of changes in the ICW so I wanted to update many of the hazard alerts so boaters would be warned of the dangers. 

It was a scramble to get out the lock

In the afternoon, we took our usual walk with Hoolie and discovered the regatta that was scheduled for Wednesday evening. They were small sailboats and some seemed to scoot around against all odds against the wind. I later found out that many of the "pure" sailing class boats had a small electric motor for getting out of the harbor. A procession lined up and towed the ones without the electric convenience out to the sailing area. 

Meanwhile, we spent the day on Fleetwing

I don't know who won the average age of the contestants rivaled our age, although I think we still had a leg up in years. We had a luncheon scheduled for Thursday which we're looking forward to. Ted is providing transportation to a place that has an excellent reputation, Hudson's Seafood, we're looking forward to the luncheon!

Hey Bob, You're going to love the food at Hudson's. The bling bling shrimp for appetizer and the Seafood combo are both worth trying. By the way, that's my Hampton in the slip next to, Mystic Unicorn, soon to be re-christened Compass Rose. Hope to see you and Ann sometime soon. Safe sailing!

That's our Harbor 20 Fleet 3 competing in Wed night races. This weekend is the big regatta with one design and PHRF fleets. We are fortunate to have a great mix of sailors at SCYC, from beginners to Olympians. https://www.facebook.com/harbor20fleet3
