Great sailing this weekend. We moved Dad's boat (Ahoy!) from Eagle Point, where they put it in the water, over to Pier 121. This was the first time I saw her in-person. She's a 1968(?) Columbia 26 mkII. For the last 34 years, she's been sitting in Marina Del Rey, owned by the same guy all those years. It's very different from sailing the J22 for a lot of reasons, but still fun. We didn't have time to put her through her paces--a storm was moving in. We had a little excitement putting her in the slip. The strong headwind and the boat's extreme amount of freeboard (and an early turn) caused me to miss the slip. My pride suffered the most damage. I'm looking forward to more spring sailing and some summer evening sails with the fam. 7:43:22 AM
