After working on the boat all day yesterday, it was nice to get out for a sail again.  There was a SCA and there should have been one.  Winds out of the North - North West 10-15 with gusts well over 20. Barometer was 29.7 and steady. Temps range from 65 - 73. Sunny to start off with, but got cloudy as the day went on. Decided to head over towards Spaniards Neck and Conquest Beach to see if I could get out of some of the wind - didn't help much at all, but I was double reefed so it was a comfortable ride. Boat handled well - when I had her balanced, but with a reefed/furled Genoa.... balance is a tricky thing! Was out of the slip at 10 and came back in about 2:30.
