Anywhere near open water the winds were steady with occasional gusts but much less than the gale force winds the forecast had called for. |
In more protected waters, the wind was barely noticeable. The water was warmer than the air so if the hands got cold, a quick dip into the water warmed them up. |

This was an interesting wooden canoe modified into a sailboat. Some high quality workmanship here. |
