Day 27 on the lake

Wind: Lots of glass, 8 in the gusts
Air Temp: HOT!

I've been dying to sail with Jamey R. He sailed a "barge" in the 80's has barely been on a board since, and just bought a Mistral NTrance with a 6.5 Ezzy Superlight rig.

He's got a bad habit of going downwind on Port, but he can pretty much get where he wants to go. We sailed most of the way to Bear Island, but Jamey turned and headed back for the beach when it threatened to die.

When we got 1/3 mile from the beach, the wind shifted north, which was offshore. He did a great job of getting back. I look forward to sailing with him this fall.
