The morning trip with Central Grade School from Traverse City was challenging, to say the least. The air temperature was 42 degrees (today's normal temp: 73!). Winds gusted to 27 knots (31 mph). We sailed with only the reefed mainsail and staysail. Everyone stayed on task, and we finished the science program with everyone still smiling. At least the sun was out.
