Sun and Wind.

I love wind and hate being cold. This 'solar oven' tack is especially welcome today. I can sit where the sun warms my back and reflection off the sails hits my front. Ahh.

The boat almost feels like it goes faster with the sun on the sails. Too bad, looks like a chilly tack is coming up fast.
