I had a nice sail last night. It was supposed to be a race but the wind was not cooperating so it turned into an evening cruise with a nice sunset. The power boat just to the right of the sun is picking up the marks just before we got there.

Nice photo!
We just returned from a couple weeks of lights winds rarely blowing over 10 knots. That's about perfect for coastal sailing in my book. I never thought about a reef (until the end), and rarely even set our anchor at night (I hate to admit that,...), as the conditions and forecasts were so benign.
We had many nice sails like this one from Frenchboro to North East Harbor. We sailed off our mooring in Frenchboro in the morning and could have sailed right into North East Harbor, if we so dared.
About when I took this, we had just sailed a narrow thread between the Green Islands just off Black Island. Not as light as D'Arcy's but we had that in the mix of the 10 mile sail. There was a slight fog in our wake.

These are also known as "swimming opportunities".
