Cruising on a Saturday Afternoon…

Aug 26

We got lucky and had some very good sailing conditions today. We had 18 people in 8 boats, plus Tom (and Braxton zipping about in his Waszp). We used 5 of the 6 co-op boats.

Ignoring the gusts, the wind chart showed about 11-15kts when we were on the water. We don't want more than that. I didn't think it was much over 10kts on the crossing, but did notice a few whitecaps on the way back and was constantly fighting the waves to keep my boat on course. Fortunately the tide and wind were coming from the same direction.
