M_Boats: Sail # 21 of Season

Went sailing today with reef from yesterday's sail in, Sailed to slot where wind was very low (0-6 K) shook out reef and sailed to N Pine was able to sail across lake and back on single tacks. Wind picked up significantly when back on S Pine. Wind blowing SSW 10-15 K gusting to 24 K (32 m/h) Was able to keep boat on its feet by use of traveler (full cockpit width) without having to put reef back in. Sailed to Marina area and tried to sail to slip but could not as wind on the nose again. Heat 98 F, Humidity 25%, Barometer falling @ 29.21, Forecast cloudy (sunny entire time out) George "We Can Not Control the Wind But We Can Adjust Our Sails"
