Sunny, temperature in the Mid 60's, Barometer 29.86 and falling. Headed out after checking the batteries - making sure they were all in good condition and had water - and found the conditions to be quite squirrelly. There was a small craft advisory out... and conditions were not that bad - the waves were manageable, however, the winds were really swirling... it felt like they were shifting constantly between south, south west, west, and northwest. Made the sailing quite unpredictable, difficult, and demanding. Was constantly altering the sail shapes (reefed head sail and main sail) and as soon as I would get it right, the winds would shift again. Decided, instead of fighting the winds in the Chester, I would head back up Langford Creek and go into the West Fork to make my life a bit easier - and it is pretty up there. So I headed up and sailed back and forth for a while before heading in. A difficult, but fun day - and certainly a day where I learned a bit more about Bubbles and my abilities to sail her.
