From 40 to Flat

From 40 to Flat

Less than 8 hours ago, the winds had just backed into the Southwest and began to blow in earnest. As in 40 knots of earnest. Twenty minutes before that it was raining so hard I couldn’t see the front of the boat.

Now, we limp along under twins with winds less than 8 knots rolling the wiping out of both sails in the leftover swell.

It’s there were top 40 am radio around here the weather forecast for today would have went something like this: Sir Salty McForecast here folks with today’s weather for any sailors out there: Light and variable winds, gusting 40. Periods of sun and torrential rain. And now for the sports!
