FIRST SAIL 2014
Forecast…
winds 10 – 20 knots ESE
Clear and sunny.
Not too hot…not too cool.
Water temp still a chilly 17 ° C
We headed east down the lake
to have an easy run back at the end of the day.
…just us and a couple other boats.
By the end of the day the winds came around from the west,
15 gusting to 20
so the trip home turned out to be
a bit more work.
We took turns at the helm
and inspite of 30 ° – 40 ° healing at times,
R.E.D. handled very well.
…back in the protection of our dock, the water was like liquid mercury.
…and the sunset – superb!
