Mom brought dad down to the Yacht Club's visitor dock. It was a beautiful day for a Father's Day Sail. Wind was from the Southeast at 5 to 15 Knotts. I thought the tide was flooding (according to my app) although, we seemed to be going faster against the tide than with it.

We sailed down the West side of Discovery Island but when attempting to round the South end, the wind died and the tide reduced our speed to almost nothing. So, I rounded up and sailed back the way we came. I had arranged to meet mom at the RVYC clubhouse at 2:00 so we ended up having to drop our sails and motor back to the club. As it was, we were a half hour late and mom had started worrying.

All was well as we enjoyed a beer together in the clubhouse.
