A beautiful Friday !
We've had light winds every time we've been out in the past so this weekend was a nice change (but not too much change until we get the standing rigging replaced).
The wind speed instrument seems to need some calibration, but I'd guess we had about 8 to 10 m/sec or about 15-20 kts. A few whitecaps here and there. That was enough to let the lady do a steady 7+ kts, maxing out at 7.9 with dry fairly level progress.
It was wonderful !
