A Starboard Tack

I'm on a very familiar starboard tack right now bearing 225° out of Lewis Bay at 41.6° North, 70.28° West.

Today's my last day on the boat this year. She's being hauled tomorrow for the season. It's a bit depressing, as it is each year. This is my true home, my world. I am and always have been of the sea. She is in me and I am of her. And it is in her cool embrace that I always feel most at home.

It's about 62°F right now (17°C) with almost overcast skies, some sun peeking through. The forecast includes some passing showers, but nothing major. Winds are out of the southeast at about 9 knots. Seas are choppy with white caps as far as the eye can see.

I'll be on and off SW today, but know that I am home and at peace with the world in the loving embrace of the sea. 😌

The two contrasts of sailing.
I am supervising 20+ kids at a sailing event this weekend.
I suspect I need some time on a boat like yours just to calm down by Monday.

@72andy Calm down?? Lemme take you outside of Nantucket Sound around the back side of Nantucket island and show you the open Atlantic. Then tell me how calm my boat is. 😉

What are you all on this weekend?
