Nice and warm, mid to high 30’s, first two days were very light winds and since then its been planing every day.  All are suffering from blisters, tired muscles and taught tendons.

Sailing in shorts and rash vests the water is really warm and unfeasibly blue. Boards by RRD and Severne sails and our own personal slave, Dan, to carry them to the water and replace them with smaller when requested.
