15-20 knots of wind, heavy sea state, sunny and warm. Sailed out and around Entrance Island. Had an altercation with a fishing boat before heading into Pilot Bay for lunch. BBQ lunch and a swim. Headed back to Nanaimo and saw an orca while dodging the ferries. Needed to spill a lot of wind to keep the boat comfortable, we should rig up a second reefing line.

Thursday night sail out and around Snake Island. Had just enough wind to make it before sunset 5-10 knots, calm seas and overcast. Enough ferry wake to make it interesting. A couple of good tacks and a gybe with a new crew member

5-10 knots, sunny and hot, calm seas Out around five finger island and back, abandoned the race when we had no chance and went a little further to get a bit more of a sail in.

Started out blowing 5-10 from the SE, had a nice broad reach down towards Nanoose. Wind picked up to 20, beat our way home with plenty of tacks. Came home on one reef and a few wraps on the Genoa. Sunny but the breeze was cold

10kts or so of wind, variable direction, moderate/heavy sea state by Nanaimo standards. Sunny. Made good speed most of the sail, sat hove to to watch the snowbirds for a while and then tacked our way back into the harbour. Sailed with dad for the first time since I was a little kid, good fun.

10ths of wind, sunny, moderate seas. Made 5-6 knots most of the way, got caught in the Gabriola wind shadow for a while. Took Ben out for his first sail.

10 knots of wind, light seas, sunny. Struggled to make it around five fingers and just made it back by dark

Beautiful sunny day, 10-15knots, moderate seas. Made 4-5 knots most of the time. Stopped for a snack and a swim in Pilot Bay, picked up a mooring ball. Re-affirmed that you should dock into the wind if you can.

5-10kts, calm seas. Sunny and beautiful. Make 3-4kts most of the time dodging ferry traffic 2 new co-op members out with us for their first sail
