What a wonderful day!  We were expecting to be blown out of sailing by winds that were just too strong to be in everyone's comfort zone.  Instead, we were able to go out for a day sail of a couple hours.  Yes, the winds were pretty strong, and even using only the mainsail we were heeling over pretty well and moving right along.  I got some time at the helm, and really enjoyed it.  But before too long the winds were picking up a little more, and we headed back in.

After docking in an alternate location due to the high winds making it too challenging to get into our slip, and after helping two other boats get into theirs - though the wind was slightly less during their dockings - we had lunch on the boat, then headed back to the trailer for some relaxation time.  After a nice nap, our hosts' friends came over and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner together, played cards (Polish rummy), and called it a night.  Oh, and I think I probably drank more in one day than in almost any recent week, though gradually throughout the day, so was never felt at all even tipsy, let alone inebriated.  

Am hoping we'll be able to get in a little more time under sail today!
