I did it!! I sailed an fj with a main and jib solo for the first time! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Except Murphy's law... I hit myself in the ribs with the tiller which I don't recall ever doing before, got it stuck on the main sheet, the jib sheets came undone multiple times, they got hung up under the centerboard, etc... but I didn't capsize! I learned a lot. I have some ideas for how to improve wing on wing solo next time.. idk. I must not of looked too terrible from shore because Adam told me "well done" hahah 

After sailing, I decided to take a swim. However, I turned around pretty quickly once I realized how bad the jellyfish had gotten. I helped the river keepers get their boat on their trailor and talked with them some. Then I walked to the pool and did some laps. Trying to practice swimming without splashing. 

The anchorage is the most crowded I've seen it in quite some time. Some cool boats in there.
