It was calling for 28 degrees today and clear which is very rare for Nova Scotia in September so Joyce and I had chatted about getting a few of her colleagues out for a sail in the afternoon after we finished up some work commitments. As it turned out we only had one taker with such short notice so the three of decided to meet at the boat around 1500 hrs. Austin is a great guy and came out last year when we had Joyce's team out for a sail so he wasn't going to miss out on this opportunity. We had plenty of cold drinks and good food so with a favorable forecast we through off the lines and were off. The wind swung around and was now out of the west allowing us to make it under the bridges in a single tack. The wind is always a little gusty along the waterfront so while I was at the helm Joyce and Austin were up on deck enjoying the 28 degree temps and beautiful breeze. I set "Bobby Lee" our auto helm and was able to join them on deck when the wind was stable. We really got caught up in this sailing thing and ended up sailing for a bit longer then expected and when I checked the time it was way past when we should have been heading back (Austin had a few things on the go that he was able to move around). We made it back by 1900 hrs after a very enjoyable sail. Even with the extended time I think Austin will definitely
jump at the next chance to go for a sail and hopefully we can get his wife Barb on board for her first sail.
