We had hoped to get out for a sail on Father's Day, and the weather turned out great for it. We had 15 knots with gusts near 20 out of the south. Our friends Joe, Eve-Marie and Tracy joined Sarah, Diane and me for the day. With the board down, we tacked our way down to Thomas Point Light With each tack, we crossed a litter further ahead of a Gemini Cat under motor heading in our direction. We started with full main and eventually put a reef in to flatten out the boat.

| John was at the helm (not really driving...the autopilot was) |
 |
| While Joe, Diane, and Tracy enjoyed the ride from the cabin top...changing sides with each tack. |
 |
| Eve-Marie and Sarah were back in the cockpit with me. |
We decided to turn around after passing Thomas Point Light. We didn't know it at the time but Owl Moon was photobombing another sailor taking photos of TPL.
 |
| Couldn't have had a better photo if it had been staged! |
 |
| We eventually started overtaking the photo boat to windward and he took some more photos of Owl Moon. |
It was Bob Bateman on s/v Nelson's Wake who took the photos of Owl Moon. We didn't hear his hail on VHF 16 at TPL, but did when he called us again off of Annapolis. We are so appreciative that he took those photos and then tracked us down to share them.

This necessity is underlined by the way that as the breeze builds, a sail normally winds up more full and the purpose of greatest camber is blown behind towards the bloodsucker.boat rentals in hamptons
