  • Beating upwind on a beautiful day

Drizzly morning that changed to brilliant sunshine after the front moved through. A 12-15 knot NE breeze sent us down to Mt Vernon and back in less than 90 minutes under a reefed main.

We were the only boat to show up and race which made for a leisurely cruise!
