Trip dates: 
Sunday, March 12, 2023
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

It wasn’t a bad day to be on the water. We got to the boat and out on the water early. Heading out of the slip, there seemed to be a decent breeze that was well above the fickle winds than had been predicted.

Out in the River, we practiced some tacks and experimented with sail trim, and VMG downwind.

But by the time the race committee had gotten on station and the starting sequence was set to go, the wind had dropped to nothing and perhaps a little less.

So we motored back to the slip, put the boat to bed, and wandered into to the club to have lunch and get our sailing fix by talking about sailing.
