This is why we do it!

Slight seas made such a difference today. Light winds from astern veered to give a broad reach in 7-20 knts. Brief thought to raise cruising chute but glad I didn’t - would have been too much in the squall that gave me 20+ knts. Hit hull speed (7.2kts boat speed) easily in that. Chalk and cheese weather as seen in photos/ videos. A great end to a mixed trip means I’ll probably sail again!
