Sail Canada101 Basic Keelboat Sailing
ASAMostly sunny, gray bottom fluffy clouds, wind WSW 8-10KTS. Occasional small white caps. Rich had that helm as we left the dock and I pulled the jib out to the boat towards the middle. After the mainsail went up I took the helm and we tacked back and forth, maybe a dozen times before we got to the Cemetary Islands. Rich helmed some of those tacks. We got into the middle between the two islands when the center board start to run and lift. The wind shifted and rather than fight our way out we just let it take us back east without plying all the way to the west side of the islands. Our return was a long steady run. I held the helm for the first half and Rich took the helm the second half and he put the boat onto bunks of the boatlift at the dock. All went well.
