135LP genoa, Interrupt mainsail.

Force 4 and 5 winds in the harbor, less by the Naval Academy. Force 2 winds downstream of Horn Point towards the entrance to Back Creek. Good winds out towards the bay. Very gusty, going from 8 to 18 knots apparent while sailing upwind in no time at all. Once ended up with the rail and part of the starboard side deck in the water. Some significant wind shifts of 30*.

Traded tacks with Woodwind II several times for fun. Going well upwind with both sails sheeted in rather tight, heading close to the wind. Flatish water is wonderful.

US Coast Guard out today stopping some motorboats. Looked over Constance a couple times, but did not approach.
