Wind from the N in the ~12 range, with gusts to 15, and 80+ degrees.  Took my brother out on his last day before he flew home to MN, and had the most wind in the week he'd been here.  Reefed the main and took off downwind to N, and then turned up to return to A.  Quite glad we were reefed once we came upwind, since the water down there was beginning to whitecap, and without a third body, we had a hard time keeping the boat flat.  Beautiful, zesty ride back upwind, and then turned home to get him back to his evening dinner appointment.  Wonderful afternoon on the water with my sibling!
