IP Frostbiting
"Turtleheart" isn't at 80 degrees north, so I can't complain about the cold here on Long Island Sound, but it's not Florida either. Here are some photos from today's sail (Nov. 28, 2014), NW wind 15-18 kts. gusting to 25, temps in the mid-30's, wind chill in the mid-20's. We reached from Mamaroneck to City Island and back consistently doing over 6.5 knots under reefed main and genoa. And we were not the only crazy ones -- we saw two others out for a sail. The last photo is an update from Nov. 30, 2014 -- two days later, and the temp was 50 degrees. Kite is up in 8 kts. from the SW. A great last sailing day of 2014.
