After motoring to Oak Bay Marina for fuel and water, I raised main and jib and enjoyed a refreshing sail down Haro Strait to the Spit. Following seas with a 2 – 3 foot chop and a fresh Southwesterly. Marine forecast was for Strong winds from the Southeast to 20 Kts. It was a fine ride, indeed!

Inkla showed up around 1800. We enjoyed bar-b-qued burgers and corn on the cob! Wind died off and I had a good sleep til B tried out his new phone at 0900.
