Monday, 23May2011: Waukegan

Weather:  Cracking westerlies 20-30.  Flat seas!

Sailed with Sharon, Hunter with Kelly at the helm for most of the day.  Kept sails underpowered.  Experimented with reefing.  Dropped the boom when the lazy jacks released.  I was focused forward then heard Kelly ask, "Is this thing supposed to be down here?"  Looked back and found the boom down and off to port.  Fortunately, the boom did not hit Kelly.  Lucky.  Got everything back together and motored in.

Winds died down and a very pleasant evening ensued.  Ate hot dogs grilled on our new grill in our cockpit!
