Just sailing

Sounds wonderful, one day I hope I make a post like this.

Mate, it might not get much better but a better day is always just around the corner. Some days on a yacht are magic.

Glorious day yesterday, I went fishing. Left mooring and had the tide behind me, pleasant NE at the entrance and sailed close hauled out to the banks. Set up wind vane and never touched it. Caught a feed and sailed home, close reach with vane adjusted once. Tide now helping me up the river. Whales everywhere, probably half a dozen half a mile off and all the way to the banks. Wished I had a book. Drank too much coffee and ate too much.

I chuckle when I realise I go fishing in the same places I used to work and with a reasonable breeze of about 12 knots over the deck I travel at the same speed I used to do in my fishing vessel.
