Port Whitby Marina



We started our cruising vacation today in light winds.  It had been quite breezy when we were having breakfast, but by the time we left, there was nothing.  We motored east for a couple of hours, then raised the spinnaker until the true wind was over 8 knots and I started to worry that it might pick up even more.  We dropped the spinnaker, but the wind didn't increase.  Better safe than sorry.

When we arrived at Port Whitby Marina, we saw another QCYC boat docked near us.  We arranged to barbeque dinner with Paul and Kim from Initram - just needed to get to the grocery store for something to cook....

We got a couple of steaks, Paul and Kim provided the veggies, and we had dessert aboard Prime Interest with lattes, thanks to our Nespresso.  Very civilized.
