Though a rather think layer of cirrostratus blocked most of the sun from getting through, a warm west breeze made for a very comfortable afternoon on the water. I sailed north past Fort Monroe and after passing Buckroe Beach fishing pier turned back towards Willoughby Bay. On the way back the skies cleared and I was soaking up the sun. Shortly after arriving in Willoughby Bay the wind shifted to come from the NE. In no time at all the temperature dropped from mid 70's to mid 50's as a cold front passed. Shirt, long pants, sweatshirt with hood up I was feeling chilled by the time I arrived back at the dock!
