Wuling Boston Harbor Overnight
Friday, August 21st to Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
Hurricane Bill shortened our Wuling mini-cruise to one overnight at Peddock's. Had a very spirited sail with winds at 25-30 kts from the SE/S. Staysail, main and mizzen from the inner harbor cruising at 7-8 kts. Note the smiles. Sailed out through Hypocrite Channel and back in Nantasket Roads to pick up a mooring at Peddock's Island. Chris and Ling go for a quick swim before dinner. Breezy, tropical feel to the evening. Not much wind Saturday morning. Tried sailing but eventually gave in to motorsailing. Exciting lack of engine just off the dock but luckily Ling and Chris got it started again during a brief rain shower and we were able to get in to the dock just before tanker traffic picked up.
