The boatyard got a new carburetor for our outboard engine so we decided to sail back home to pick it up.

Motored all the way down Vineyard Sound due to light headwind. As soon as we reached Quick’s Hole the South West breeze picked up. Shut down the motor and raised all sail. Headed due North. Finally some nice sailing! 1 minute after raising the main I decided it needed a reef. Managed to blowout  one of the reefing blocks but had a great sail home.

Going to stay here for a couple of days. Need to do laundry, re-provision, and get more ice. It’s raining so we’ll wait until things clear up. We’ll probably head back out on Monday.

Also- I just added about 100 photos to the 2012 gallery section.
