23-July-2022 – Winds 20 knots then10 knots then 23 knots on an afternoon Lake Michigan Sail.
Winds were blowing pretty strong (20 knots) out of the south when we docked off. We reefed the foresail and main, but shortly after we got he sails up, the winds lightened up a bit to 10 knots so we shook out the reefs. Winds “freshened” up again to 20+ knots so we reefed the foresail again and had a great sail for the balance of the afternoon. When we got back to the dock the winds were still strong, out of the south, making docking a little interesting.
