Saturday, November 29 ~ Biscayne Bay

Biscayne Bay ~ 79 degrees ~ 5-10 Knots ~
Chip & Michele & Kiko (Heineken Lite)







Kiko making his virgin expedition w/Christine on the Bay. Headed out at 9-ish and on the water at 10:30 a.m. Caught the outgoing tide but not a lot of wind. We shot the breeze, had a little lunch and caught up on life events (mostly Kiko's).



Wind picked up in the afternoon & Kiko did a little sailing. He appeared to enjoy
it.



We came in w/the tide a little after 4 and had a beer on the balcony of the boat club. I forgot to sign the tab.

It was a good day with friends on the bay.

Wednesday, November 26 ~ Biscayne Bay

Biscayne Bay ~ 75 degrees ~ 0-5 Knots ~
Chip & Michele (Miller Lite)



On the water about 10 am, no breeze & no boats out - thought about calling it quits When water birds were swimming past. Knew it was bad when boat was sailing backwards after a jibe (current was stronger than air!). But saw a dolphin, figured it was a good sign.





Michele and I dropped the hook & took in the sights (above & below decks). Managed to spend an afternoon on the bay. Breeze picked up & more boats made it out. We headed in around 4:00 pm.



A good day on the water.

Biscayne Bay ~ 78 degrees ~ 10-12 Knots ~
Chip & Michele (Miller Lite)





Got a relatively early start at CGSC, a little after 9 am & on the bay sailing by 10 am. Headed South w/Main & STD Jib, didn't tack for 2 1/2 hrs.

Christine still sluggish on tack (likely cause bottomside needs good scrubbing) so jibed to make the turn.

Had close encounter w/50+' power/luxury boat taht steamed past during jibs - likely jealousy!

Back to CGSC, on dry land a little after 3:00 pm.
