Boat - and trailer good to go: settled into a protected little cove, out of current's way and close to home. Sailing the NSB area really quite a tight game for a

Sweet home NSB!
Watch out for the tidal currents.
ggrizzard - sweet home indeed! Aside from explosive growth recently, NSB is a "magic" place for surfing, fishing and blessed to have that local entry to the ocean waters for sailors too. I'm not "there" yet, but with a more experienced sailor with me, I look forward to sailing out triangulate a course within a short distance. The narrow sections of ICW in NSB are chockfull of shallow banks and bars, plus tall pines on either side - for wind blockage!
