It was a great weekend for sailing. On Saturday the wind was blowing 10-20 on Puget Sound. Avi, Kristin, and I motored out in the morning, Avi making scrambled eggs with anchovies and bacon on the way out. Once through the locks we picked up Sonia and Nate for the day of sailing. For lunch we went to Port Madison, tied up to a buoy, and had lunch and a nap. Then we sailed home.

 

Penelope did GREAT. The way back was a broad reach all the way across the sound and we got up to over 8 knots even with the main reefed. Pictures posted.

I'm in Boston for a couple days to talk with customers and present Microsoft's HPC solution to some folks at MIT and potentially Harvard. So, I'm staying in Cambridge at a hotel called Hotel @ MIT. They have the coolest blankets on the bed. Here's a picture from my mobile phone. Hopefully you can read the collection of formulas to keep somone warm at night.

 

Oh, and courtesy of Ms. Kristin Green I have some photos from sailing on Saturday this last weekend.
