Very hot morning, not a breath of wind. After lunch a good stiff breeze had sprung up, so managed to take out a 12 ft. Sharpie. I took her a couple of miles out & right across the bay. Sluggish after Lima, & they always had a reputation as wet boats. They are! Came back thoroughly wet! Much cooler with the wind.
Love
Hubby.
