Default Sailing this weekend

I did! The water was a gunblue with a heavy silver quit like sky, Wind
was steady as a rock first hour out of the north at 10. Sailed to the
new high rise condo site, by the park so Skipper could bark at the
colored folks crabbing. Across the lake to the South the stern wake
sounded like one of the water falls in a big hot tub, Kingfishers
diving all arounds us. On the south sside we sailed by Pelican pilons,
each had a white or Brown Pelican preening feathers from a long night
of fishing, then it happened, the wind just about stopped, the water
fall wake turned into a few slow whirlpools spinning off the transom.
had to row off the south shore and caught just enough breeze to barely
make it back to the slip. Once I doused and stowed the sails the wind
started picking back up :0( The Snipe 125% head sail was great.

Might head back out after work.
