Winter Solstice Finally Here
Posted: December 21st, 2018, 11:10 am
Happy Dec. 21 everybody from the 44.51 parallel. While this may not be accurate from your perspective, I consider this day the hump to get over to look forward to boating season, instead of looking back, putting more distance astern. After today, we will gain sunlight each day. Sometimes by seconds, some by minutes. Sunlight today is 8hrs 49 min. In 6 months, we will gain 6 hours 45 seconds. It's time to spin that wheel, turn boating minds 180 degrees, and head back to port, and start singing Creola. I can almost feel the warm, wispy sea breeze. Finally, just so there is a sense of reality to this message, winds on the bay today are N 30mph, with occasional 35mph gale gusts. Waves 3' to 6', water temp of 34.
Prepare to come about in 6 hrs, 33 min! Happy Holidays all!
