Took Rogers family to Angel Island

We had a nice sail to Angel.  Started out later than expected, we had 2 teen girls along.   My family decided not to go so they went with Sue and Alex to the Tech.  I had Roger, his Mom and Sister and bother, Sues sister her daughter and Matti, 8 in all including me.   We left Pier 39 around 11:30 and got to Angel about 1.  We were fighting a strong tide.   The wind was strong.  Even when we left it was already blowing at 17 kts.  We barely managed to get a spot to dock.  I had to kind of cut in front of some poky sail boats.   We ate lunch on the boat, I was surprised that all 8 of us fit in the galley.  The girls took a nap after lunch.  On the sail back we saw winds in the mid 20's.  When the wind started getting too strong for comfort  tried to roll in the main.   Unfortunately the furling unit slipped off the roller on the mast and I had to go forward to re hook it up.


Good sail, first in about 6 weeks.
