Onshore breeze

You can often count on an onshore breeze on hot sunny afternoons and today was no exception.  Setting off with all three sails on a gentle run in flukey winds upstream, by the time I had reached the turn just in front of the Orwell Bridge, the wind was beginning to pick up.  Opposite Woolverstone on the return trip, I had to furl the mizzen and pull a few turns in the jib just to put things on a more even keel...and its a privilege to have opportunities to use that phrase in its literal sense...

I managed a small clip of video in light winds on a gentle run upstream past Freston Tower.  The Orwell Bridge can be seen in the background.  I enjoy watching the bow pushing through the water.
