Tiny hints of wind, nothing more. I'll take a walk on the waterfront and hope for a breeze.
--------------------------------------------------------------
As if it had been scheduled, a breeze arrived at exactly 9 a.m., just as I was finishing reading the news and enjoying a glass of iced tea. It was a light wind, but steady. Maybe 5 or 6 mph, sometimes a little better, something a little lighter. I spent a couple of hours tacking back and forth.
My hope for being able to send a track from my Garmin GPS to my phone, using the app Garmin Connect, ended with disappointment. I can easily connect the two devices but sending a track, which I thought would have been an obvious capability, does not seem to be part of the program. I think the bluetooth capability is more aimed towards health/exercise, i.e. there is the option to input my height/weight/heart rate. Go figure.
The track above is from today and yesterday. I sometimes wonder/worry about my ability to find joy in simply sailing back and forth, upwind, downwind. Simple things for the simple minded. I hope to add to the track tomorrow evening.

When reading the NYTimes before the sail, I came across the word "ensorcelled" in an opinion column. I think I am fairly well read. "Enscorcelled" is an interesting word, but hardly part of common English. Let's just say I am not ensorcelled by the word choice. Then again, simple things for the simple minded.
Beautiful photo.
