A wonderful 2 hour sail on Willoughby with the LaLos. Forecasted low winds perked up and with Mr. Sisson at the helm for his first time, we scooted around the bay at all points of sail. Finally, thoroughly invigorated, we avoided the thunderstorms and returned to base. Finished up with a nice lunch at the Grille and sorted out that Kona should be called Longboard.

The answer my friend was blowin' in the east wind as a crew of three left the dock around 1120 on a bright sunny day in Willoughby. Enjoyed the bay more or less to ourselves in excellent conditions with a breeze 10 to 15 knots and light sweater temps. Out to TS Channel and back we watched the workday world as tugs and barges chugged along and two of the US Navy's finest got underway from NOB. Inadvertantly sent a few "bum" calls to close friends. Passed the Cyn Lyn on the way back from a fishing expedition. Return to homeport only marred by engine problems as we dead sticked it in to slip A-19. Discussed engine repair plans over a few Kona's and an OJ at the 'Grille.
