No race - tack to Grand Anse Cira, freeze and a run back

On Saturday, we agreed to cancel the Sunday Frostbite due to cold and lack of wind; it was too cold and busy.  

Sunday turned out to be rather nice, cold and windless.  The race cancelled due to lack of wind.

I unpacked the car and loaded it.

At 4PM, I departed into the channel, passed Bonita, who took a nice photo of BELLUM touching the cloud.  I subsequently put up the 155 head sail, tacked around the lighthouse and zig-zagged to Grand Anse using less than 15 minutes of diesel power.  It took3 1/2 hours to get to Grand Anse
Supper was liver and onions. 








I gave up trying to enter Grand Anse, but the wind was reasonable, so I anchored outside the Anse.









Well dressed








The next morning was cold, 4 at 7AM, but it warmed up fast. Winds were 15 knots.  I hauled anchor and drifted very safely into Lake St. Louis, unfouled a reefed genny and sailed back to the club to haul out Sedna VIII, Tara II, Redline and winterize Astri.

The track
