Winter Sailing

although it is winter , i am not sure why people aren't sailing in the early new year! i was out on the Orwell today with my brother and there was sunshine and a perfect wind speed ,12-15kts. there was a strong tide running but this didn't stop us proceeding on a foul tide beat because we were just happy being out there. while we were on our little outing we spotted a little sail coming down wind under just jib alone. this jib was white with a blue u.v strip. as we got a little closer i realized that it was another Pandora international which is based at Suffolk yacht harbor as well . but we were going in opposite directions . we were out for about 2hrs just sailing around and we just had the best day ever . . . even though we were blue by the end of it.
