My Japanese friend arrived today so I was forced to sail in one of those mongrel WNW winds. 20-25 knots. As luck would have it, it was low tide by the time I was dragged down to the inlet and we found some nice flat water and speed runs up the Yanakie Channel. 

Bit if fun for my first sail in 3 months!  :-)
