Motor on

So the wind today in the estuary and the Bay was elusive. Which means we got to be motor sailors for a few hours (from 1:30-4:30). Love that Yanmar 3GM30F (at 257 hrs now). Would've preferred sailing but it was still a nice time out. Brought along Uncle Thom, Sophia, my wife Jane, and one other friend Jack. 

We have the cushions out for re-upholstery and I learned that the cabin interior is more than twice as loud as usual with the engine going when there's no sound deadening of the cushion near the running engine. 

Saw a seal and a cool low flying pelican. 

We also got to watch a huge cargo ship being maneuvered by a few tugs in the estuary. 

Well anyway, here are some photos.
