Sea Ya

Basic Cruising Standard

Pleasure Craft Operator Card

Wind was weak and from the northeast, so Sea Ya was head to wind one way and running downwind the other.  Relied on motor rather than tacking across the channel.  Did a little wing on wing coming back, but hardly made any way against the current and returned to motor.

Stops: for gas at the marina, at anchor at the plage municipal, and at anchor again outside the club to rig the reefing lines.

Rigging reef #1 (red)

Used the main sail to sail in a circle around the north cardinal buoy. 

While under way, fenders are tied to the lifelines so they can act as a buffer against larger ships, and can quickly be released back down to docking position.
