Today was the coldest day for weeks, according to the news tonight, and it felt like it out on the Bay. It was also the shortest day.
I launched the Core Sound by 10, and set off towards Williamstown with Sandra on the helm. There was not much wind, and very little sun. Quite a few very purposeful formations of gannets flew over us, glad I was not a fish.
Poor Ozzie got cold, so he got wrapped up in a blanket.
It was a very peaceful and enjoyable sail. I quite like light air days. We averaged around 2.6 knots.
I was fairly efficient derigging and packing up, but coming home, there was a party on next door, cars everywhere, and I clipped a car with the boat trailer as I was turning. I was hurrying as I didn't want to block the road, and I forgot that the trailer does not exactly follow the car in turns. Is this a patch of ice, or a winter I wonder? I guess stuff happens, but is it a sign I am getting less quick. Is it a pattern, the bike accident and now this? Hmmmm, better be extra careful for a while.
