Weds is the beginning of my work week. It ends on Sunday. Yes, my social life has been gone since I did this business!
Wednesday, I got a last minute booking for a sailing cruise. Took a lovely family of 5, including three little girls ages 5-10, and a well behaved dog on Sonora. A sailing buddy showed up as volunteer crew. Sailed in varied conditions, shaking out a reef later in the day. The children ended up napping during the last hour or so. The eldest even got some helm time in and did better than most adults that I know. Very adorable trip!
Thursday, I started the day with the Flying Scot skipper checkout process. I somehow passed. I was skipping the standard training systsem the club has in place (challenging it is what we call it). Despite the many tutoring sails I went on, my chaotic mind forgot a few little details. But I still passed. My club's commodore came to crew for me, and Mike, the club's treasurer who had lived in Korea in the 60's and 70's, came. I'm really lucky to get all this special attention from my club! I also had a work trip that evening.
Friday, I had a lovely cruise with a family of four. The teens were well behaved, and genuinely interested in the sights and stories, which is sort of rare for teenage boys!
I actually have three more trips this weekend. I'm going to be one tired sailor.
