"When I think of all the fools I've been it's a wonder that I've sailed this many miles." -Guy Clark

sunglasses, broad brimmed hat, wind

This entry is titled with the items I forgot to bring along with me for today's sail.


The cool (relatively) dry air and north winds of this incredibly mild summer had lulled me into forgetting what a mid-August day can be like.  I have always disputed the notion that there is no wind around Chesapeake Bay in July and August.  There is wind, but it can be accompanied by heat, humidity and hazy grey skies.  Today was a day of no wind, but heat and humidity did put in an appearance.  No matter, I had a great sail yesterday evening, and no complaints at all about today.
