Shortly afterwards, the wind freshened a whole lot more, with some very strong and shifty gusts: That had me wondering if I should wait out the weather at a lee shore until things improved.

Taking advantage of a lull, and noticing that the clouds were taking on an even more threatening look, I took a chance and zoomed the last ½-mile to the dock. (My BIL was there to slow my docking speed—fortunately).

But surely, of those 34 boats—including my sailboat—someone can advise of what sailing events were going on Sunday.
APS, I participated in the NH Police Fund ride yesterday out of Laconia HD around the lake. As we came out of Alton the sailboats looked fantastic (it looked like more than 34). Glad you had a good day out there (weather not withstanding).
