Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

Mostly, it was sailing in a pretty steady 10-12 knots of winds at a comfortable 60 degree temperature, except that the next moment, there was no wind.  I mean literally... telltales hanging dead vertical, masthead cups not turning, SOG= speed of current marked by the floating leafs moving at the same speed as the boat....that kind of no wind.

Then slowly, over 5-10 minutes, the wind would fill in at the masthead, and then fly the upper jib telltales and slowly make its way back down to the deck and go back to a very steady 10-12 knots. Except when a 25 knot gust came through and rolled the boat rail in the water.
