Great last sail of the year

Sunday was unseasonably warm, in the high 50's, and the wind was variable, ranging from 6 to 18 knots true, all from the NW. didn't decide to go out until 3:30, so got underway 3:45 on a short-daylight day.  SO glad I did go sailing, though, even though it was boisterous enough that I only put up the main. But it was glorious to be sailing again, moving between 3 and 5.5 knots whilst wearing five layers.  Got hope as sun was setting; quite a gift from the weather gods.
