"There's nothing to beat sailing up Coniston Water in the late evening with a slight following wind."
However the problem subsequently arises of beating back home against an even slighter head wind - as Captain John points out, the wind drops at dusk.
How often heve I done this, not only on Coniston? You would think that one would learn from experience, but the 'slight following wind' is always so delectable.
