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
BKI cert obtained.
15 minutes, wind was nice SE at 8-10, sunny, 90s.
Less flakey wind than the last few days. I assume b/c it was SE and not E or ESE. Fairly warm but not horrible. 5-10kts 3.5hrs on #11
Zero wind in the morning for docking and reversing practice, then plenty E/ ESE 8-12 or so in time for member sail. Super shifty as per usual though, and a pretty insane amount of power boat plus regular (dinner boats, watermark, taxis, etc) traffic. Not a relaxing afternoon. James and new sailor Tavitha did well on the tiller managing the shiftiness and crazy traffic planning/dodging.
mid 80s 0-2 E then 8-12 E/ESE ≈ 6 hrs
