Finally, the weather cooperated; sort of.  Steep chop and light wind meant motor sailing the first half of the trip, but North of Bolinas, we got 20knots, gusting to 25 and some nice sailing into Drake’s Bay.  Windy night, gusting up to 30 knots, but anchor deeply embedded in the sand and the anchor alarm set to 120 feet, meant a good sleep.  On the way back, saw two whales (probably Gray’s) and a dozen or more dolphins that swam with us, surfing on the six foot waves for 15 minutes during one session and 10 minutes during another.  Really fun to watch!                         By the way the Monitor (now known as “Wilson”) steered all the way back.  In 15 knots true, a double reefed main and yankee jib, Wilson steered brilliantly.  We just sat, read books and looked up from time to time to make sure we didn’t hit something.  The trick is the heavily reefed main.  Keeps weather helm from overpowering the self-steering.  We made about 5+ knots with this set up.  Even better would have been the 130, but I was too lazy to put it up!
