Took full advantage of a 24-36 hour weather window and scooted down to Brookings. Rubbed off the slight scum that grew on Allymar's bottom since the haul out. Crew did well for their first time out on the ocean, standing watches, asking appropriate questions and dealing with some seasickness with a positive attitude. It was so good to be back on the water, especially watching the moonrise as the sun was going down over thew other shoulder. There was a shade too much motoring as winds were light southerly most of the time. The Monitor vane did yeoman work when asked (I hate to steer). when we had good westerlies.
When we came into Brookings harbor this morning at 0630, the fleet of boats coming out for a Salmon derby met us in the channel between the jetties. Must have been 50 boats in 5 minutes as they rushed out to get the biggest and fastest fish. We just kept our speed and direction and let them go around us. Wish I had my camera as we came in.
