last weekend/next weekend

I was offline and out of sight for several days enjoyng the Hunter Rendezvous with my SailTime Channel Islands friends. It was a great trip and included a spinnaker clinic, a talk by Mike Pyzell and an open bar. It's hard to have anything but a great time when you're parked in Two Harbors for four days.

Weather next weekend looks the same as it does right now: fog in the morning clearing to the beaches in the afternoon with increasing winds in the afternoon to about 15.

The fog has not been on the deck, in fact, when we returned from Catalina it was partly cloudy at sea and fogged in ashore.
