1 day
Type of watercraft:

Took Hunter, Richard and James out for more cruiser practice ahead of Hunter's checkout. Wind was great and cooled us down nicely once we got off the dock. 10-15 SW, very warm. We took video of some anchoring, heave to (both with full Genoa, and a 1/3 furled to demonstrate how much that alters the downwind oscillation) reefing, shaking out, etc. Hunter got to practice using the preventer as well. I think he'll check out next week or the week after using Akimbo. We had to maneuver around the Dora moving verrrrry slowly into the inner harbor, probably destination at the port authority, in the way back.
