  • At some point I enabled a tracking app
  • My ugly mug

Back and forth, tacks and jibes for a couple of hours.  The wind started at a nice 7kt and steadily grew to 12-15kt - perfect for practice.  Ended with a few touch and go's at the dock.  Gray skies but only a drop or two of rain.

  • WoW at the Bay Bridge
  • STARBOARD!!

Easy sail most of the way to the Bay bridge, then a challenging 3 hour trip back, with winds that shifted 90 degrees at a moment's notice, and went from 5 to 15 knots just as quick.  Great practice conditions, trying to set what's coming and adjust quickly.
