I should have done a lot of things today, like clean my room and office, clean the kitchen, do laundry and blah blah blah..
Instead I took out the Reenie K again. What a day! Because i had started putting her away for the winter, it took a while to get squared away this time.
I saw Ralph and Zack as they were coming back in form a day of sailing as I was putting in.
I sailed out from Keyport harbor and checked the handling of the boat. All seemed well, except the forestay developed some slack at times. First chance I had, I tightened it up and all was well there.
No adventures, not exciting moments of Man's skill, grit and determination against the pitiless harsh seas. More like laying back in the sun and watching a LOT of boats out, For once, there were more boats gone from the moorings at Keyport than there were there!
As I was tacking about the bay, I was overtaken by a very nicely kept boat called the Shanghai (I found that out later - the name was in Chinese!). The captain hailed me and asked if the Reenie K was an American Fiberglass 16! First time anyone recognized her by name! Turns out he has one on a trailer! He thinks sail number 101, so about the same vintage as mine.
He tool some pictures of the boat under sail and promised to send the me. That would be great, cause I want to make crew sweatshirts for the Captain and Crew and put a picture of the Reenie K on them!
