Some nice swells around 6'. Just rolling through to the shore, to the delight of all the surfers. More surfer out today than I have seen in quite a while. So, lots of folks enjoying the good waves.
The swells were not a problem, on the boat, as they were just rolling. No breaking seas. Some nice long tacks. Wind direction was good and made for a nice lazy sail day.
A little excitement after I set my sails and started to sail out of the harbor basin. I noticed that there was water in the sump, which is unusual. It turns out that I had not put the water intake plug back in after letting out the ballast on my last sail. I took off the cover to the ballast area and water was still coming in, spilling down to the sump area. I just put the plug back in. So no real damage done. Just a little water in the sump area. I did not have a cup, or anything to bale out the water. So the sail was completed with ballast and a little water sloshing around.
