Today's route
A cousin who was in town reached out and wanted to go sailing on my boat, so we set up a time this evening. The weather was very hot and conditions were heavy, with occasional gusts into the low 20s. I decided we should go anyway, and we ended up having a great sail. Given the gusts and a totally green sailor we tooled around under just the main. The boat still performed great, and in a couple puffs we got up on plane on a reach. Not bad for a 47 year old boat! Glad we were able to get out and catch up on a day I otherwise wouldn't have been likely to go sailing.
