CHNYC Summer Sailstice Raft Up June 17, 2016

     We cruised for the CHNYC summer sailstice raft up in Potter cove near the Newport bridge.  Barry and Suzanne and Lucy came along for the ride.  The seas and wind were a little more than was forecasted.  Probably about 15+kts and 2+ foot seas.  The ride down was good but the ride back was a little rough.  The wind gusts caused our boat to accidently jibe a few times.  At least that is what it felt like.


     We rafted up with three other boats, White Wolf, Free Spirit, and Charlie’s Mainship 34.  We had drinks and snacks for a couple of hours.  When Charlie attempted to raft up with us the first time he caused a few rollers with his wake.   White Wolf and our boat bumped rub rails which caused a little cosmetic damage to ours.  It was easily fixed by me the next week.
