It has been frantic weeks of preparing Synergy for her insurance survey, going through the survey with Steve Uhthoff (who I highly recommend if you need a survey) and then following up on performing the required remediation the recommendations in the survey.
But partway throght the disassembly and reassembly process I desparately needed a sail.
Earlier this spring, I had signed up on the SpinSheet Crew Finder and was approached by a new sailor who was looking to go sailing, He joined me on this close to impromptu sail, as did one of my crewmates from Starbird.
The new sailor picked up helmsmanship on a stange boat very quickly and so rather than teaching, I mostly was coaching.
It turned out to be a lovely sailing day with adequate winds, lots of boats to joist with, topped by an engineless 'dead stick landing' (on purpose rather than due to engine troubles).
