Had a February sail yesterday

in about a 6 to 10 kt breeze from NNE. I went out for about hour or so Saturday morning. Chilly enough so the stove was welcome. Reached from the dock to just inside Swan Point, heaved to on the Port tack, then went below for tea and warmed up sausage bread. Finished the first chapter of a new Tilman book, Mostly Mischief. This one covers several voyages to the west coast of Greenland starting in 1963.

Came about near the Mantoloking Yacht Club after coming within 100′ of shore and then had a broad reach back to the slip. Got in put her away just as it started to rain. Sat below with the last of the fire as the rain kept time with the chortle from Sjogin’s laps.

No sailing today, blowing 15 to 20, gusty from the SSW. Had a fire and tea and more Tilman.
