Beautiful day out there! Winds were out of the south a good 10+ knots - fairly consistent... not a lot of gusts. Temps ranged from 60 - 68, Barometer was 30.11 and falling. Skies were completely sunny when I left the dock at 10:30 and only a few clouds showed up later.. Still got the sails up quickly - did wait until I made the turn at the first daymark in Langford creek. Cut off the engine and sailed out into the Chester. Started out beating into the wind, then did some close reaches, beam reaches and then finally some broad reaches as I headed back to the marina. Lots of sailboats out there today - took a bunch of pictures.  Winds were nice - really very consistent - only a few gusts. Got the centerboard down and Bubbles was just flying!!
