Sunrise on the last day of September.
There aren't many days left in the sailing season, period, let alone good ones. Our neighbors, Max and Donna, have already put Sin Sal in her cradle. We skipped work on Friday to get whatever sailing in that we could.
NOAA and The Weather Channel forecasted the wind to be out of the northwest all weekend. Sailflow.com projected the wind would shift overnight on Friday to the southeast and blow out of the southwest on Saturday morning. With two being better than one, we left for Schoolhouse Bay off the island of Middle Bass. When we arrived, however, we found the north wind had changed and was now coming from the east. Since the First Mate likes the north bay of Kelley's Island better, we pulled up anchor and motored to Kelley's.
