Weather wasn't quite right where I was - wind was a bit too strong (we had to sail with a reef, which I hadn't done before in this type of boat) and the direction was annoying, meaning we took on a lot of water getting out from the beach and decided to come back one beach down the coast where it was more settled. First sail I've had in a decade and it was great.
But you are correct, the rest was all good, and it even rained at the exact right time (when I wanted everyone to start packing up to go home!)
Gerrit, if I ever work out what the trick is then I will offer you a discount on the secret ;-)
Span likes to think of herself as a mysterious interwab force for feminism and leftwingedness. However the truth is, as always, more mundane, what with blogging being the natural home of the frustrated and rant-inclined. Span is most certainly of their ilk. Sometimes she even talks about herself in the third person. We rest our case.

Nice weather where I am right now!
Span,
Could I have a direct link to your weather God? (Or as sailors are likely to call him/her, Huey)
Weather was just as you ordered.
Classic
