I took Sea Puppy out by myself. Winds 15 to 20 gusting to 23 or so. Seas about 1 ft.. what a blast.. on a beam with half the jib reefed and two reefs in the main I was still doing 7 knots. Measured the wind with the anemometer that Miriam gave me for christmas 🙂 I wasn’t trying to push it hard there for I reefed fairly early. Also with sustained gusts that were runing 7 to 10 knots over average wind speed I reefed more for the gusts than the sustained winds.
As always when by myself I ran the jacklines and clipped in if out of the cockpit. Mostly it was a pretty slow day. I just enjoyed the clear blue skys and nice winds.
