Happy sailor on the trip back to Bowen ... long sail alone, but a lot of fun
Leaving Gabriolla aiming at Bowen in the distance
Sea planes were constantly taking off from Silva Bay all weekend

Silva Bay marina ... crowded on the weekend
Looking back to Bowen ... it's lonely out there
Lot of water coming over the bow from the waves
Washing the jib although it really wasn't that dirty
Getting up to hull speed when the wind picked up
Getting really comfortable sitting on the bow and letting the boat drive it's self
On the bow making sure the jib has good shape ... although I was probably interrupting the wind flow.
Good waves off the beam of the boat
Looking back towards Bowen on the way to Gabriolla
Early morning departure from Silva Bay heading back to Bowen

Comfortable angle of heel
Clouds over the North Shore
