Under Spinnaker

The winds have been better this fall than last spring...and we have been able to sail more than we did in May and June. Going north from San Carlos, we had 10-15 knots north-northwest winds so we could reach west, then tack back east and keep our boat speed over 5 knots. When we came back to San Carlos, we had a bit lighter north-northwest winds (8-10 knots) and a fine spinnaker run into Bahia Algodones.



Now we are on our way to Portland, Oregon, to spend a week with friends and family for Thanksgiving. The reports of a major cold wave coming down from Alaska and punching a left hook into Northern Oregon and Southern Washington are intimidating, especially since we have little in the way of winter gear with us! We may be spending a good deal of time indoors!
