Ben, a friend of mine invited me to go sailing on his boat today (a Catalina 30). It was cold, temperatures were in the mid 30s and we actually had flurries. Wind was approximately 15 knots and it diminished to 10 later in the day. In other words it was cold, but it was fun. The boat had a good heel, and at times, according to our GPS, we were going well over 6 miles per hour. We had a four our sail from the York River Yacht Haven to the Seaford Yacht Club. A nice sail.

There was very few people out on the Bay today, which is understandable, considering the weather. We saw a few pleasure boats with people fishing, no sailboats but even one kayak, with a brave soul. There were a lot of migratory waterfowl on the bay; always a pleasure to see them. By the end of our sail the clouds broke and there was even a peak of sun. It was a pleasant sail, but as of this writing, I have not yet warmed up.
