Type of watercraft:
Sail
Light winds were forecast for early in the day. If i'm not going anywhere, gentle breezes and relazing sailing is perfect. Sailing out of Willoughby Bay to the north I timed my arrival at the channel to catch a departing submarine. Close enough to grab a few pictures, not so close as to become a concern for the patrol boats.
At first in the light winds it felt quite warm in the sun. As the breeze increased, long pants and jacket were needed. By late afternoon I had anchored on the east end of Willoughy Bay in hope that the trees along the shore would cut the wind a bit allowing the sun to set the temperature. They didn't. Dinner on the boat and with the moon rising and sun setting I pulled anchor to head in.
