Took the yellow knockabout almost to the bridge... but with instead winds and not enough time, we headed back for a long downwind sail back home, taking another an hour to cover 2.5nm.
I finally paid for iNavx, though, and spent much of that downwind leg programming waypoints in it.
Took some high schoolers out as part of a field trip. Very cool group of kids, they were fearless!
Barely had time to do a couple of practice tacks before we saw lightning in the eastern shore. Still, it was nice to get in the water with G and grab a burger at Ebb Tide Dark Horse
I barely did anything, my boat mates got us a well earned 2nd by exercising patience at the last tack.
Light winds near Back Creek, spent a warm few hours chasing puffs.
Today was an exercise in finding the puffs.
A free friends and I rented Honu and, after a couple of hours doing the checkout sail we had a lovely afternoon sailing her around
I missed a few Monday and Sunday nights while I let my wrists rest up from a flaring carpal tunnel. Ran a good few races trimming sails the whole time, and wiring this the next day I'm happy to say my wrists feel great. I'm going to take that as a green light to look for a race boat who needs a crew!
An evening of racing with the same new sailors from last week. We tried for first with 2+2, heading into next week's races strong!
I made a couple of new friends today - it's easy to forge a bond sailing together on a blustery day. We went up the river, docking and gybing all the way, and practiced docking when we got back. Now it's time for oysters and a drink!
