Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

The day started with glassy water but we finally got out to some decent steady 5-8kts and find some great figure 8 POBs. After lunch we went back out planning more fig 8s, but got overwhelmed with 20kts and INSANE traffic. Sugar barge, 3 tugs, pilot boat, BKI practice boats plus safety boat with instructor observer, the Neapolitan and 3 water taxis all within a tiny segment of water and time. Finally got out enough to heave to and reef. Ended the day with docking practice. Am exhausted and have no voice left.
