Sunday Sail

Took the family out on Sunday afternoon for a little sail. Worked on teaching the kids to raise the main and unfurl the genoa. They seemed to like it but I'm not holding out for them to be my racing crew. Little wind but Commencement Bay is pretty good for finding little pockets of wind here and there.

Went over to Shennanigans to eat but discovered, even at high tide, there is almost not enought water at their dock. Fortunately we arrived almost exactly at high tide so there was a foot under Scamper's keel. Luckily I noticed this, consulted the tide tables, and decided not to stick around. There was over an hour's wait anyway so we sailed home and drove to a restaurant.

This is too bad. Shennagins is a favorite family boating destination for afternoon sails. Never had a boat with this much draft - six feet. Maybe we'll anchor off and dinghy in.
