Grants let us down this morning so switched to Sulfur. Predicting low 60’s and mostly sunny but it was solid overcast and 54 when I got there at 12:30 (56 when I left). Straight from the 3/2 summer suit a week ago at Grants to steamer, hood and gloves today. Thankfully it got sunnier the longer I sailed. It stayed cold and the water was quite cold but the sun at least made it feel warmer. Peter was headed out on a 6.5/135L when I got there so I hit the water with a 7.0/115L and was lit from the get-go. Made it a half hour then had to rig down to the 6.0 and the little iSonic screamer. By then the airport was 26G36. Wild speed runs until I quit exhausted at 5:00. Sweet afternoon.
