(first airing of cruising chute, wind numbers are knots apparent)

I rather like these numbers

So that's what, 7 or 8 knots true?
Not bad at all if that's a sustained speed!

Sustained speed was in the high sevens, but there were a few bursts above eight. My guess at that wind angle would be about 10kts true. Next time I'll press the button and find out.
