Jake, Lars and me took advantage of the great weather to spend the afternoon sailing in breezy conditions 8 to 10 knots sustained; 18 knot gusts. Radio chatter indicated someone capsized near Hains Point, and an airplane crashed south of the 301 Bridge.
The SW breeze and ebbing tide made a 1 to 1.5 chop which Arcas powered thru easily. We reefed the headsail but not the main. Good feeling to trim the main hard and flat for the upwind beat.
