Sail Canada101 Basic Keelboat Sailing
ASAmostly sunny, 60*, wind 10-12 knots mostly out of the East gusting toward 14(?). White caps were small but regular. I went out on a partial jib, furled it in and then put up the main sail leaving about 6 inches to act as a reef. The wind was a bit too zesty for my single hand comfort skills so I turned it around just past the new 'no awake enhancement' float. I was pleased with the smooth docking onto the lift. Celebrated with a Two-hearted at the Porthole. Now I head back into town to to blow glass for my first time. Hopefully it'll look somewhat like a pumpkin.

Mostly 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.
