Managed to get out for a sail today and what a nice day. the new Merc 8hp started second pull. Ran out and headed north in a light breeze. With the tide behind me. Ran all the way up to a couple of hundred meters short of joes island . Hadn't been that far up before. Had a look at chicory lave but it seems to just be a simple run in between the mud banks. Caught a 75 cm snook on spinner jus before crawfish rock but that was all for the day. Lunch was a bread roll and a tin of beans. Had the wind coming from the south on the way back so ran all the way to the steel mill in one close hauled run then tacked to the eastern side of the bay. Tacked back to the refinery then started the motor to run the last bit and into the channel  pulled in to the ware at 6pm. Packed up and drove home. A good day on the water

Wind from the south all day with very light breeze in the morning staying in the south and getting up to 15 knots late in the afternoon.
