Lots of practice starts and 3 short races. We had some excellent starts, and did pretty ok/mostly mid fleet in the races. Then there was a debrief at quantum sails with drone footage and coaching tips. Super duper informative. I understand the inhaul settings so much better now. Starts are still a mystery but I'm taking it all in.
wind was flakey. SWish, 5-10. ≈3hrs
Pit on Chessie to practice for the J105 women's this weekend. Wind started nice ≈12-15 sw ish but dropped to nothing. Beautiful evening though.
Really both days compressed into 1 w/single student. Went great. Discussed topics, gave written test, then coached otw practice until 1ish, then a couple more practice maneuvers, then OTW test. Student nailed it after the morning practice. Felt really great about the coaching. :-)
wind was 8-13 SE, ≈7hrs.
Shadowing (tomorrow doing it myself)
wind - 8-13 SW ≈6hrs
Just a super short couple of quickstops across from UA. Wind was fine, 5-10 NE (less than predicted) and cool overcast weather.
Wind much better than expected, 10-15 NE, overcast, cool, no rain.
Wind 8-12E, cool, overcast. ≈3hrs.
Wind was 8-10NE. Overcast, cool. Heard mayday just as we were getting the sails up but decided vicinity of sparrows point was too far for us to do anything. Listened to the whole drama as we practiced for ≈3 hrs.
Conditions variable. Good wind on the third day for sailing home. 8-15kts NE
