Friday Sail

Friday went sailing with Katja! A bit stressful with all the other boats and barges and banks of the river, but a great sail nonetheless. Eighteen knots for much of the time, so practiced reefing and heaving to. First sail since I loaded Snookums with maybe a ton of stuff. Was worried about her speed and stability, but she seems just as fast, and even more stable than before. We likes it. 
Huge full moonrise -- a crimson sliver peeking over the mountains, then blossoming into giant orange ball.
