Opened the 2012 Season with an easy, uneventful sail round Willoughby Bay under light winds. All hands refreshed helmsman skills. Watched the "red buoy" crab pot boat retrieve a fair number of beautiful swimmers. Plenty of warm tea to keep things lively. Passed the fine "CindeRella" cat outbound. Only sore point: Blue Captain lost the marina on the final inbound leg due to some clever OPDEC by the Naval Base having installed a large number of light poles that closely resembled masts. Reaction was similar to the famous green buoy collision event. Good grief.
