Went out with M and R on this chilly day -- right at the '80F' limit (and that's ignoring wind chill). Wind was a steady 5 knots, with few gusts. A bit stronger in the outer harbor (which was full of tugs...). I practiced some "navigating by sails" which is pretty cool (interesting response times). But yeah it was cold so we turned around -- good thing too since wind was falling off a little bit. So after 3 hours, R made a nice upwind with favorable crosswind docking. Was also a test of some of my new cold weather gear (mostly passed...).
