Great fall colors on the trees and wind ranging from 6-9 knots from the SE in 61-degree weather gave me a great time to practice going upwind, where I managed to consistently go 5 knots in 8 knots of true wind. Ran a course starting at E and ending at N and then ran home, going 3-4 knots wing-and-wing all the way to the Red channel marker. Then shot into Valentine going 5 knots and furled the jib and ghosted all the way to the slip. Really a beautiful evening. Tightened the top batten, so hopefully we'll lose the pucker there going forward. We'll see.
