Port San Luis

9-2-06 Saturday - Finally we got to sail. The wind came up good and strong in the morning and at 11:30AM we set off, roaring along on a tw0-headsail beam reach (that's for those of you who speak 'sailor'). We were doing 7.5K to 8K (K=knots) and that is the kind of sailing that makes sailors very happy. Since we were sailing, we decided to use the new genset to recharge the batteries. It only had 2 hours on the engine and so we gave it another hour's breakin. A nice 40 mile sail and we arrived at Port San Luis, anchored off Avila Pier, and rowed ashore for a meal and some groceries.
