Out on Dangerous for a practice day to do some spin work with my brother and some newer crew. Very light conditions to start built nicely into 10-12 on the Bay. Sailed a couple long upwind tacks, then realized we were close enough that we might as well sail to Hooper's. Did our usual rounding and set up for a spinnaker run back. Rounded the lighthouse again, put in a couple gybes, and rode the spin most of the way back up to the Patuxent. Found our friend on Lexicon heading in at the same time as us and flew by for some pictures of each other. A great day out on the water and some good practice to get ready for Wednesday nights.
