Took Kevin & Justin out for some reefing, heave-to and more POB practice. Also refined exiting the dock technique. Wind was so promising as we left but died down as soon as we started POBs. Very annoying. 5-10 E super nice weather in the 80s. ≈3 hrs

The couple of mentees who are about ready to check out did some checklist practice and we focused on quick stops. The E wind lived up to its reputation and totally screwed with us though. 5-10 E but very flakey and lots of horrible lulls. Super nice weather though. ≈3 hrs

Was concerned the wind would be too much but it really never got over 10 (felt like) so shook out preemptive reef past dominoes. Had a nice sail out to ft mchenry and back, a little into the inner harbor, and then docked. Overcast but pleasant. Dark clouds cleared with no rain. 5-10kts E w/ periodic long N spells. 4:30-8:30

Took a j22 (#11) out for a couple of hours with Robert & Petra. Wind was REDICULOUSLY flaky, but still mostly better than forecasted. Lovely overcast day in the 70s. Wind was 3-6ish mostly E but loads of oscillating and some very random 180d as well. ≈3.5hrs

Last evening of this series of lessons. Had a really fun night practicing tacks and jibes and everyone got a couple heave tos in as well. Excellent weather in the 80s, wind was annoyingly oscillating but mostly decent at 5-8knts N, but sometimes NE or NW. and a few bursts of solid S. ≈3.5hrs

Pretty low wind with a few nice puffs, but horrendously switchy which was super annoying. Met a new member (Petra) and had a very fun relaxing sail though. 5-8 (mostly 5) sort of N with lots of oscillating to WNW and NE. Clear, low 80s. Really nice.

Wind died down and was on our nose most of the time so it was a frustratingly slow motor with occasional attempts to get a boost with a sail out. After dark the wind picked up and the angle improved for us so we made better time and finished up at 11:20. (About 12 hours, 5-12kts NE, pleasant weather)

Chessie took a break from WNR because of gov cup this weekend so I took a J22 out at DSC to practice a few SH quick stops before member sail, and then went out with people for member sail. Temp was in the high 90s, but there was a very nice 8-10kt W breeze. ≈4hrs
