Weather: Sunny and mild 80 degrees. Winds: NW 5+. Seas: None.
Screecher and main broad to beam reach (120-90 degrees relative) and made 6kts. Stopped at a dog beach along the way.
Moored in Eldean's. While new facilities, the new staff seemed confused/under trained. Older staff did not seem to want to bother with us. Service just seemed lacking, like pulling teeth to get the weather forecast brought up on the computer.
Ran into a couple from Waukegan (they remembered our dogs) attending a Juneau gathering. They asked about HR and speed. I told them we average 6-7kts and have cruised 10-12 hitting 15. The had asked because they had routinely sailed circles around HR outside of Waukegan. I can only assume Fred had a relaxed group aboard and not been trying since he knew how to sail and had hit 18.3 on a run to Chicago.
