 June 15, 2022 — ABOARD KNOTTY GIRL — Left Ginowan Marina at 10:45 a.m. with Kevin Parrington. Sailed most of the day under 1 reef sail. Maximum winds were 20th and average speed was 3 Kts. Mostly overcast skies and sunny skies until we reached Kerama Straight.  Hit by a squall. Before we got hit by squall we furled in genoa and dropped main sail and motored up the channel until we arrived at the port at 1645. As we were coming in Zamami Port, Queen Zamami Ferry blew two horns as we pulled into the port. We hit pier a little hard with bow pulpit as I didn’t adequately inform Kevin on the docking procedures.  Had problems again with the knot meter. I was able to adjust it and it started to work. Trip length: 24 nautical miles.

See you on the seas, Captain Knotty
