Type of watercraft:

A storm came through about 5 pm, and after the front passed, I took the Sunfish out into a very gusty northerly, onto Valentine Creek off the Severn River.  Had some really glorious rides upwind.  Dinghy sailing is so exhilerating compared to larger keelboats, since the accleration from a puff is so immediate, and one's constant leaning in and out keeps things in control.  Such fun, and so glad sailing is back in my life after the cold months of October, November, December, January, February, and March -- since I sold my keelboat in September and had to wait for everything to warm up before venturing out on my Sunfish.  Glorious runs right to the end, when I had such a puff that it drove me so fast downind that it pushed us right up the beach.  Fantastic!
