1987 Hunter Legend 37.5

Weekend of boating.

What a beautiful weekend for hanging out.  We started the weekend off hanging out Friday evening at the marina.  Blake did some fishing and caught about 6 fish in total, but they were all throw backs; he had fun just the same.

Saturday we sailed out with Ft. McRee as our destination.  The wind was blowing between 18-22 knots, but the seas were calm, so it made for some decent sailing.  Ken and Sheri were supposed to join us, but Sheri is sick with a cold, so they decided it would be best and stay behind.  Conrad, Roxanne, their daughter and nephew sailed Great Escape and John motored Toppsoff to all hang out for the evening.  We built a campfire and ate chili and Smores while listening to the Auburn/LSU game on the radio.

Other sailors out for the night.

Blake collected seaweed.

Friends playing football on the beach.

Waking up Sunday morning.

We cruised back around 10am, arriving to the marina around 12pm.  The wind was blowing at 20kt with 1 foot seas till we rounded the tip of Navy Point, when the wind hit our nose and seas grew to 2 feet, so we dropped sails and motored the rest of the way in.  It was a fun weekend.
