Finally a weekend with summer temps.
On both Saturday and Sunday the winds were 10-20 knots, waves 1-3 feet, sunny skies and summer temps into the upper 80’s.
On Saturday, my wife and I went sailing with my college roommate from freshman year.
On Sunday, my brother, a friend from work, his wife and I went out.
Both days were great!

Single-handed sailing
On Saturday my wife and I went sailing with friends and their 2 daughters. The day was beautiful, sunny, warm with temps into the mid 70’s. Wind speeds were about 8 knots and waves around 1 foot. A good time was had by all.
On Sunday I did my first single-handed sailing. I had a couple of small onboard projects to take care of then set out about 2:00. The weather was identical to Saturday’s. I had to work real hard to get permission from my wife to go out single-handed. She was sure she would become a widow. I promised to wear my life vest and a harness. There were no problems, only sun and fun.

A bit cool for August!
On Sunday, I went sailing with my wife, daughter and father-in-law.
It was cloudy with temps still unseasonable cool at 66 degrees.
Winds started out brisk in the 10-15 knot range but subsided to 5-8 about half way through our 3 hour sail.

Relaxing evening sail
On Thursday evening my daughter and I went out of a nice and relaxing sail.
The winds started out in the 10 – 15 knot range, but ended in the 5 – 8 knot range.
We had a very short period when we hit 6.4 knots, but spent most of the time around 4.5 to 5.0 knots.
The Thursday evening racers were out as well so we had some company.
