First really humid warm day -- in the mid 80's -- that I'd ventured forth on Lark this year. Went out mid-day because the wind was projected to build, so left at 11 and returned at 2. Breze 8-11 knots from the South. Still had the jib on, which was good since I was single-handing. Tacked back and forth to good effect to hopefully, finally, get the wind angle calibrated correctly, since we'd been using a bigger offset and I was eventually able to get it to record about 27 or 28 degrees on both tacks. Ran a course that took me first to N then over to C and back to V and then B and home. Great, consistent wind allowed me to get better and better at handling the boat. Which is wonderfully solid.
