Cousins Lisa, Luke, John, and Martin have arrived—all the way from Stillwater, MN. Katy and Will are beside themselves with excitement. The cousins are competitive sailors, so we have already been out orienting to the Windrider. Earlier in the day, before their arrival, we took Heliotrope for an hour's cruise across the bay and back in gusts to 25 knots. Good shakedown.

Trip to Mindemoya, right by a field of rapeseed (canola).
