With the temps and humidity in the mid 70s, I decided to go for a sail. I boarded Miss Adventure and prepped her for the sail. Sailing away from the dock I headed up Kershaw creek with the wind almost on our nose. We tacked our way up until the creek became narrow, causing more tacking than sailing. All the little coves were still and have enough water to house my Compac 19. I must do an overnighter sometime. Sailing down the creek and down wind, I sat in my favorite spot. Slouched against the stern rail with my feet up. This is when we hit a crab pot buoy that broke the golf tee holding the buoyant Rudder Craft rudder down. We headed for a cove and still waters. After replacing the tee we continued down the creek and started up Smith creek when once again a crab pot was struck. I decided to sail over to the wildlife ramps to fix the problem. Not finding any more tees, I climbed down the stern ladder and tightened the nut to prevent the rudder from floating up. With that taken care of a trip to the town dock and walk across the street to the "Bean" for ice cream was in order, until I realized I hadn't brought my wallet. With that the skies were getting darker and a very light drizzle began. We headed back up Greens creek and coasted into our little cove.

I often forget something or have to work on something so I can relate to your sailing very well. ;D Actually sounds like an enjoyable day on the water.
Nice day! I did some tacking last time out just because I hadn't in a while. Nice creek!
