15-20 knots is when I head into port if single handing, with sails  
reefed to keep the boat balanced, motor down and idling
If there are experienced hands on board and there is wind without  
other weather coming we have fun
I wanted to go out today but my ting was bad, the front was visible  
right at 4 pm here in Greenwich
Oh well
