Headed out quickly. No messing about. Bent on the sails which were removed on Friday due to Hermine

Near G "7" had Tal and Leah bring the boat into the wind that I might complete raising the jib. We tacked instead. Got it sorted with a bit more effort. Due to this ended up making enough distance to windward to get windward of R "6" and therefore liable to run up on the Greenbury Point shoal. Depth sounder started alarming at six feet. Got this sorted as well.

Very pleasant sail out into the Bay and back. Tried to use the YP Boats on the northeast side of the Severn to provide a lee when lowering sail. Worked to some extent.

Nailed the entry into the slip. Just beautiful.
