Beautiful but chilly sailing
Went to the boat with hopes of getting off the dock after doing a few boat jobs. Installed the freshly rebuilt raw water pump, put the engine room back together set up the boat's running rigging, bent on the main and roller furling jib. It was only 4pm and I didn't have to be home so "Old Blue" headed out to the Bay.
It was a gorgeous day with land temps near 70 degF. The water in the Bay was only 55 degF though so it was chilly out there. I had two jackets and two drafty watch caps on. The breeze was forecast to be light and shifty but it was blowing up to 10 kts on the Bay. Sailed in to Annapolis Harbor and took a loop around the docks as the sailing team kids were coming out from AYC in their 420's.
A much warmer trip back home, downwind. Couldn't believe what a beautiful sailing day we had so early in the year.
