First Fall Day sail

The weather forecast for Saturday had a small craft advisory in effect, calling for showers, big winds and big waves.  We decided not to go sailing.  I think it was a mistake because the showers didn’t happen and the waves didn’t get too big.

On Sunday, my wife and I went out for a pleasant Fall sail.  Coolest temperatures so far for us at 57 degrees.  Winds were 10 -15 knots and the skies were partly cloudy.  Temperature wise it was very comfortable and we both just wore sweat shirts and didn’t need to put on jackets.
Trying to get my wife more comfortable with the operation of the boat, I let her take it out of the marina.  We also practiced tacking a few times and she did a great job.
