First sail of the season, Saturday morning April 24;
54 deg F, 5 knot breeze from the east. Sail downwind against the last of the flood tide at a relaxed 2 to 3 knots to Harrah's.
The breeze falls to almost still air as the temperature rises to the low 70's F. Come about into the what remains of the breeze and close reach tacking between the PA shore and the shipping channel.
Make some progress against the beginning of the ebb tide but at the Boeing test heli-pad the ebb overcomes progress. Three Chinnocks are on the test pad, one with rotors on.
Motor on, drop the jib, center the main, and motor sail to Essington.
