Took off a bit before sunset into 5-7 mph from the WNW in 68 degree weather, and had a wonderful time. Chatted over a dock with a neightbor who had just managed to get her mainsail and jib onto their furlers for the very first time, which is an exciting time for any sailor. Pushed on up Valentine creek toward its headwaters, into the wind, which had some substantial gustsl. Watched the sun set and then on my wayback downwind happened to look up and see a full moon rising. No boats about, and the only night noises were from a spirited volleyball game at Arden's nearby beach. Wonderful spring evening a perfect time for kayaking -- which brought me to five straight days on the water!
