the gust

If today was preview of the coming year, it will be a

great year of sailing.  Yes, I know, main is not well set.

I was slacking the main sheet to deal with the gust rolling 

across the river.  Got around Hospital Point and reefed,

then soon double reefed.  Warm and breezy, a steady five 

and six mph with reduced sail.  A great day on the water.
