nothing but a breeze


I was caught off guard by the chill I felt when I walked outdoors this morning.  A chill in mid-August.  The two seldom go together.  

Down at the basin I thought I would not be sailing.  No wind all all, glassy calm river.  So I took a walk instead.  Heading back to the basin 20 minutes later I felt a breeze tunneling through the downtown buildings.  Boom tent off, sail covers off and I was out on the river.  I had forgotten how nice it was to sail without heat or humidity.  Not a lot of wind, maybe between 5 and 10 mph.  No complaints were heard on board.  It felt like a mid-September day just as the cool fronts begin rolling down from the north.  Perfect.
