We took Heart of Gold out in some very nice wind, but again opted to
fly the jib alone. Right around 5:00 or so we caught some really nice
air, steady at 17-20 knots, though it dropped back down 1/2 hour later.
We raised the main after that and just flew!
It's feeling like fall here...more each day. The light jackets are out
to stay.

More sailing Saturday/Sunday! This weather is GREAT!

Get that wheel wrapped and it will be a lot warmer, as well as offering a
better
grip without having to clamp your hand so hard.

It does look like you had some decent wind. The chart for execution Rocks
only
takes a measure every 60 minutes, so it would be hard to argue that you
didn't
have periods of even higher wind.

The Kings Point station (about 1.6 miles south of City and Hart
Islands) was reading 8-10, gusting to 12-13 much of the afternoon.
However, between 3:30 and 6, there were some stronger gusts, as strong
as 16 and 17 knots. The steady wind was not over 11 knots after 3:42.

This is from a NOAA station that records every 6 minutes.

What I don't get is why people feel the need to lie about stuff like this.
It's so easy to check and it makes that person look like a loon.

Seems like the only one who needs to lie about is RB. Who
is trying to impress, anyways?

I can think of a couple of reasons, although they're not
good ones.

1- the person has low self-esteem and few (or paltry)
real-life accomplishments to brag about, so he makes them up.

2- the person has a socially maladaptive behavior pattern of
lying about almost everything. Kids often develop this when
they realize that their parents don't really have eyes in
the backs of their heads, it becomes a game where lying to
mommy makes them feel powerful. The vast majority of kids
outgrow it.
