Weather: Sunny and warm. Winds: S 20. Seas: 2-3ft.
Woke this morning and Kelly asked, "Where to today?" Small craft advisories and strong S winds and seas dictated a northerly transit: Roche Harbor! Motored out of Fisherman Bay at low tide, following the rules. Apparently there is a rock near the exit on the west side of the channel as we struck something, popping the centerboard. RT said he had come to a standstill one day hitting something there.
Once out, raised the genoa only and made 7.5kts on a nice sled ride. Following seas are great! Winds declined as we entered Spieden Channel and were zero as we motored into Roche.
Once again, on the dock (this place is expensive) but since it was one of the first excursions of the year and we had the dogs, on the dock was ok. Backed into the slip, misjudging the turn a tad early and narrowly missing a stern/dock kiss as the chicklet on the dock nudged Strider out.
While not a favorite place, Roche Harbor is nice. Dog walking is easy with a lot of things to see. Chandlery there is not expensive (Power Stove $20 less than at Fisherman Bay).
