Where WhimSea Takes Us

It was the first sail of the season and we were taking Joey and a friend of his. Troy and I ran up to Mocha Moose for a quick pick me up before heading out.

They arrived a little after 10:00 and helped Troy to raise the genny. Because of the wind and its direction, we decided against raising the mainsail, figuring if we wanted to, we could raise it out on the water.

We headed out from the marina and were pleasantly surprised to find out it wasn't freezing cold out on the water, despite the early date. There was a nice breeze blowing off the land that warmed up the air very nicely.

We sailed out towards Wisconsin, and about halfway there turned around and headed back to the marina. Unfortunately, Joey's friend got sick on the ride back, but all in all we had a good time.

After the sail we walked about the marina and visited with other folks getting their boats ready for the season. Then Troy, Joey, his friend Jesse, and Karen and Jerry Ruona went to Two Harbors and some Due North pizza.

We followed up some excellent pizza with more drinks and good conversation into the wee hours of the night.
