1987 Hunter Legend 37.5

Weekend Sailing

After a long week working on the boat, we had the chance to shove off Saturday morning and sail most of the day before anchoring at Ft. McRee overnight. A dolphin swam along side of us and gave us a great show in the early part of the day. Last night another boater failed to secure their halyard away from their mast, so it flapped in the breeze clanging all night long, which caused for a unrestful sleep. So we started off slow this morning and made it back to the marina around 1:30pm. Overall we had a great time.

There was a group of sailboats rafted up, plus many others just anchored throughout.

My brother and a friend made it out for a bit on his 1978 Sea Ray. Didn’t get any close up shots of his boat.

Our son enjoyed himself playing in the sand.

Having fun.

Pogo just chilled the entire time.

Here is a shot of Monomoy sitting pretty with her hook out.

This poor fella ran aground near Pensacola NAS. They had their diesel running and jib out attempting to list the boat over and power enough to get out. I don’t know how they ended up getting free, but they were gone this morning.
