Nora Dwyer

Started our day out with a boat check and sail plan. Headed out to our training bout,aka Reba, to hone in those under power skills needed for picking up a mooring ball and anchoring … then we headed to Arkansas Bend to anchor for lunch. Then we headed off to our final destination for today, the Sometimes Islands (which are just starting to show up above water). We’re all tucked in on anchor,watched the sunset then cooked dinner. A wonderful day of watching Nora stretch herself and pick up new sailing skills!!

We started the day off with our sail plan, boat checks, and a scout out of the new location of the pump out dock (our first stop tomorrow). Our sail started out with pretty sporty winds (and a massive delay in starting sailties), and very spicy gusts upwards of 20knts. Lots of sunshine with temps in the low 70's, the wind out of the north had a definite crispness to it. A anchor practice / lunch stop was welcomed. We warmed up some tortilla soup and tortillas. We concluded our day with a fabulous, lighter wind, sail and tacking practice ... looking forward to tomorrow.
