The days are just too short!
In the summer, it would still be light enough to sail, right now, 9pm friday evening, when it is blowing 30-40 knots and the tide is low. :-(
Have you ever noticed how in winter the best wind always seems to arrive just after dark. Or if you leave right after work you just can't quite make it to the Pit until just after the sun sets when the tide and wind are perfect?
Today was one of those days...........
