Very breezy, from the east. Irene, Sue, and I slipped the Windrider out of the dock and headed up the east side of the bay, somewhat in the lee. Gooseberry beckoned so we set that as a destination, and rounded it in 3 to 4 foot seas. The ride back was fast.

In addition, the last of the boards got polyurethaned, the last two upper windows got boxed in, and the grill got fired up for the first time (inconceivable but true) .

And, after dinner, Pax decided to wander off and accost a porcupine. Minor bite, not too many quills.
