Went out with Barb & James. All went well until re-launching for another docking practice. J's foot went through the end of the dock and he barely got it out and scrambled onboard. V tricky maneuvering back to dock. Feeling extremely anxious about what would have happened to his leg if there were more wind.

Several good downwind, also some parallel parked at deep back of B dock. That was new but now feel pretty good about it. Short time out but effective practice time.

Spent a good couple of hours working on docking and then got a surprisingly great sail out past Dundalk and back. Then went out on Akimbo, fixed the bottom of the Genoa (bolt rope out of track) and had an awesome sail way out past the bridge. Came back downwind, did some wing on wing, and finished up around 10. The moon was very big and red when it came up.

Mostly showing off sails with corporate logo trying to get another set donated, but also did a couple POB's and some docking practice.

Did everything fine except docking, which at least wasn't horrible but was kind of embarrassing. Much lower wind right around the docks than I've practiced with, and was consistently under aiming for the slip and had less momentum so sliwly drifted (cross wind) a little too far. Bleh. Will practice more abs try again. So frustrated with myself because I knew what I was doing wrong and kept not fixing it.

Super duper hot, pretty low wind. But it did pick up enough to do some quick stop pob's at the end.

Got to try rc sailboats for the first time and they are so cool! Did a couple races. Was pretty terrible at it but the boats are very fun to play with.
Ran over to member sail just in time and had a good couple of hours with surpringly decent wind. Was SO FREAKING HOT though. Has to come in a bit early as skipper was burning up. Went to little Havana for townhall meeting after which seemed to go well. I think stuff seems to be going alright for the organization. Phew.

Rigged a j22 and waited for accessibility sailing people but not many came out so headed over to help fix the clutch cable connection on Akimbo and replace a hose down below. (9-2) Wind picked up a little and we got up to 4knts (briefly) with just the gib out on a short test spin. Engine works fine, much more water spitting out the back than before, and clutch moves pretty much ok. Shifting into forward still may break it again next year though.
