We got to run down to the San Diego Bay for a "quick" sail in the Montgomery while the kids played at Mimi's house...it was a beautiful late afternoon, but the wind absolutely died on us! We knew when we set out that if we sailed towards downtown, the incoming tide would be against us when it was time to head back to the launch ramp...but the downtown skyline was so beautiful that I just couldn't resist heading for it! We found ourselves totally becalmed, but enjoyed the sunshine and views nonetheless. Sine it was the day after Thanksgiving the harbor was still really quiet, so we enjoyed floating around without much boat traffic. At one point another boat even offered us a tow! I guess they felt sorry for me when they saw me paddling us back towards the launch ramp! But the wind suddenly picked up again as we headed back in, and we were able to enjoy a nice sail back to the dock before it got dark.
