Plus rescue at sea.

Crowds at the beach, at the marina, at the farmer's market, and at the library book sale. The good weather has brought everyone out.

To get away from it all, and to take advantage of a strong south wind, we decided to go for a sail on the Windrider. Once out of the harbor we noticed that a rental 10' Tango sailboat appeared to be in trouble—rapidly being blown down wind and out to sea. Getting a line to him and getting things squared away for a tow took a bit of doing but proved to be good practice. The rescued party expressed much gratitude once back at the beach, and the boat rental agent learned the importance of a chase boat (we hope).
