Took out #6 with Richard for a frostbite course practice and then went back to ft mchenry via a pause in the turning basin for heaving to practice, then tacked back to DSC and docked. It was fairly chilly. Reefed the main but it wasn't too much wind really, but the tips of my fingers were pretty numb by the time we got back. Mid high 30s I think, felt fine when the sun was out but not great otherwise. Water temp as 51ish according to the noaa reading by the ft. Only out about 2.5hrs due to the cold.
