Njord, the Norse god of wind was having some fun with me. At first a north breeze got me out and tacking up the shoreline. It was a little rough and gusty so I changed plans and decided to head back to the James River. Just as I turned west to fight the outgoing tide the wind changed to west and lightened. Every thermal that passed changed the wind direction. Loosing ground I finally had to run the diesel to get out of the suddenly busy channel.
