Added four gallons of diesel.

Tested navigation, steaming, anchor, and deck lights. All working.

Raised sail at G "1SC". As I sailed out into the river, the wind slowly veered further to the south then southwest. Could not quite lay R"4". Tacked about 50 short of R"4" and continued out into the Bay, where the wind weakened a bit to force 2.

After the turn, wind faded. Motored a bit before returning to sail. Furled after passing Horn Point.
