After a morning of showers, hail, strong F7 the sun came out with F6 so rigged 76l/4.2m. Very short wind chop which I have not seen here previously and suspect due to being mid tide as disapeared, but at same time wind eased to 5m. As sun low and tide dropping came in after only half an hour. Hands cold and had to roll mitts down. Winter's coming. Nice to get out and apart from hands in wind chill was warm. 3*.
