Holy shit, I can go faster than 3 Kts.! Today was my first day officially working from T2, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Can't think of a better office location.

I arrived in the morning, lit a fire, boiled some water, did dishes, made coffee and dealt with some emails from work. Then I jumped in Skully and motored to Oak Bay in search of gas and a pair of sunglasses.

Barnucka wasn't aboard his boat and the entire Oak Bay Marina is closed except for the gas dock. No sunglasses. So as I was waiting for the gas jockey, I noticed Barnucka arrive on the scene. I bought 5 bucks worth of gas and happened to mention to the young lady that I was disappointed that the store was closed because I was hoping  to buy some sunglasses. That's when she pointed to a basket full of promotional sunglasses and said; "Take one, their free!" Can ya believe it?

Returning to T2, I warmed up a can of soup, check in with work again and rigged for sailing. Mortified at my 'grass skirt' I took the turk's head to the waterline.  I rigged main and jib and for the next hour I thoroughly enjoyed beating back and forth across the bay in a steady 5-10 Kt. Southeasterly. I'm not sure why I'm relieved to witness T2 break 3 Kts. That's as fast as the engine will push her. Must be something with the engine. I reject the notion that there's too much growth on the bottom to attain hull speed with a 15 HP diesel.
