Yesterday was the first day of Spring. What better way to celebrate than Spring sailing on Trouper 2! Working through lunch, I left work a little early and was soon on board and Spring sailing on Trouper 2.

There was a very pleasant, 10 Knt. North wind blowing. I reached through Plumper Passage and damn near made it round the South end of Discover Island before the wind packed it in and I had to motor home. I arrived back to my mooring buoy just after sunset. Upon arrival I discovered my bilge pump wasn't working. The pump itself works but I believe the hose leading to the galley sink is plugged.

I was a little under-powered just using main and jib but it was a lovely sail and a great way to welcome Spring. I'm looking forward to cruising season.
