Smooth first sail of the season riding a tailwind up to Salt Ponds. Lots of jibe practice. Warm sunny Spring wowser. Doc v. Doc on tiller.  An unplanned jibe caught the attention and cheek of the she-Salt Pondian who demonstrated calm bravado and aplomb in response. Kept an eagle eye on one of the Yang Ming fleet ("Teamwork, Innovation, Honesty, and Pragmatism.") probably with a Dollar Tree load inbound to NIT. Cruised into Marina at high tide.   S.Ponds itself was NORDO due to previous night lightning strike.  Earlysville crew got the full experience and celebrated later at the Surfrider on Hampton Creek.
