Sails: Interrupt 170LP genoa, and main.
Sailed down the Severn, wing on wing at times, with Force 3 or less winds behind and a bit to the north. As the boat moved past Greenbury Point, the wind veered more northerly and strengthened. Gusts at 14kts apparent. By the time we past Hacketts GC"1", the boat was close hauled headed for the mid-span of the Bay Bridge or the east tower. Most of the time through Whitehall Bay saw an apparent wind angle of 60*.
On the way back, the wind weakened and backed a bit, rather reversing the effect noted when heading out. Started at about 120* apparent and ended up at 50* coming up the river. Rather shifty winds and a wide variety of speeds changing quite often.
