15 puffing over 20 knots

It was a cold day today. 18C but windy.
The boat loves those conditions and a little more. I went down the river upwind and went for the windiest part in the front of Varennes.
Nice planning rides coming back with the right angle to keep the boat flat and doing 2 digits white sails in the puffs. The boat felt light and lively.
But showers were menacing. One passed over Montreal 10 miles away. Another one was in formation possibly going over me. I came back to the club and endured a little rain when rolling the sails.
