Top 12.7, average 8.7 BOAT (through the water) knots, held down by a wait
for a bridge on the way out...
More in the log to come, but all that work on the bottom paid off in spades.
It was getting, toward the end, when the wind dropped to 10 and we had a
counter-current of a couple of knots, that we griped about "only" making 7+
SOG with mid-8s to 10+ BOAT...
No, the engine wasn't running until the turn into the channel. Boy, does
she SAIL!

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
