Sail Log: February 9, 2008

Today was a lot like the day before – cold in the morning but warming up to the high 60’s, light winds, sunny skies.

I left the marina around 10:30 and planned to anchor off of Fountaineblue State Park for awhile. I called a friend who has stopped by the marina on numerous occasions to see if he was in the area; he was in Covington, just up the road, so I headed back in to pick him and his son up at the marina.

After a quick tour of the boat, we cast off once again and motored back out to the lake. This time we head to the southwest for a few miles, then tacked east towards the park before heading in on a broad reach. We tried wing-and-wing for a while, but there wasn’t a lot of wind.

Got back in around 3:00.

• Total Distance: 13 Miles, Under Sail: 10
• Average Speed: 2.89 kts
