The first of the summer high's passed through the area warming things up to
record or near record temperatures.  The good news was that the humidity was
between 6-27%; but the bad news was that it was 112 degrees in Phoenix.  Out
at the lake it was a rather brisk 108.  It actually got cool enough to pull
a sheet over you about 1 AM.  

 

I had stayed away from the Memorial weekend crowd so this was my one weekend
to overnight this month.  I also used this opportunity to fly the spinnaker
for the first time since purchasing the boat.  With full sail (bimini, main,
and spinnaker) up I tried to take some pictures.  However, single-handing
required a little more athletic effort than I was willing to exert to get
some good pictures.  Also with it that warm, sailing with the wind is not
that refreshing.

 

I will probably have to resort to night sailing until the monsoon weather
shows up.  Anyway, off to San Francisco this next week on business.  It will
be a nice break from the heat, where the temperatures of 62-67 are forecast.
