It could have been better

Yesterday when I arrived at the causeway Art was finishing up and Ron was rigging. The wind was out of the SE and it was mostly cloudy. From the forecast I thought I would be rigging a 7.0 but I had to drag out the formula board and my 8.5. The tide was high and there was a lot chop and seaweed in the channel. I ended up sailing near the House of Refuge and Eduardo joined me out there. It wasn't bad, but not what I expected.
