Great Sailing Weekend!

Last weekend we had a couple of great day sails with our firends Sandy & Bill from Costa Rica.  The conditions were excellent both days with clear skies, warm weather, flat seas, and moderate wind.  On Saturday we just did a day sail up and down the coast.  We attempted to use our cruising spinnaker for the first time since we had extra crew with our friend Dave.  Unfortunatley, the dousing sock got jammed and we were unable to fully raise the spinnaker.

On Sunday we left earlier and headed for Anacapa Island where we planned to anchor for lunch and return in the afternoon.  On the way over we saw lots of marine life including a pod of Risso's Dolphins, porpoise, sea lions, etc.  Our friends Tom and Dave from D dock met us there on their boats.  It was a beautiful afternoon and we had a chance to enjoy our lunch and relax.  Our return sail was exciting with good wind and smooth seas.
