Distance Travelled: 8.9 n.mi.
Year-to-Date: 310.7 n.mi.
A nice daysail, we went out in a bit of a drizzle, which cleared up - and sailed at around 6 knots for a while in 10-15 knots wind, with about 10-15 degrees of heel the entire way. The weather started threatening heavier rain, so we headed back in to spend a nice weekend in a quiet marina. Very relaxing, and got lots of reading done :)
The fall colours hadn't started really coming out yet, maybe thanksgiving will be the fall colours sail.
