Bellingham Weather at 18:00 O'Clock

Temperature 62 degrees
Wind Wsw at Force 3 to low Force 4

Light air boats will have their way with the fleet tonight.



???
12 knots is not what most racing sailors call "light air." A
real light-air machine will be thinking about reefing about
then.

Same here ol Thom..2-3 kts wind then nothing...I did not go out,


You are wise. There is little fun to be had sailing in drifters.


watched 4 boats being towed in after the sun set. Looks like only 6-7
boats showed up.

Temp 93, sun blazing.


This morning it was 67 in our back yard (nice cool forest)
but it should get decently warm during the day. The weather
here just does this to tease all the Yankee come-heres.
