Nice weather at first. A pop up rain cell shut us down early. Phone battery died so don’t have full track.

Spirited sailing. First half of the day was easy 15kts of breeze until part way up the channel. Then gusting to 30kts at times. Practiced reefing, heave-to, MOB, what to do when the boat forces you to round. All in a great finish to ASA 104.

Practiced fixing our position and planning a route down the channel out to moody gardens. Nice easy motor sail.

Headed back out to retry our anchorage point

Failed to secure anchor in high winds at night. Decided to play safe and went back to the marina. Practice nighttime nav.

Nice breezy afternoon sail. Docked at pier 6 for dinner and instruction

16- 25kts Lost jib halyard during sail change… MUST TAPE RED JIB SHACKLE

At the dock, executed training for spinnaker hoist jibe and douse. On the water, - practiced helming upwind and downwind under main only to train helm and mainsail trimmed. - successfully launched kite and performed three jibes - had issues raising headsail in preparation for douse. Doused with jib halfway raised. - cleaned everything up, untangled lines and rehoisted jib without issue. - then jib halyard broke free on our last tack and skyed. - safely motored back into slip - retrieved and stowed halyard

Sustained 20kts of wind, gusting to 26kts
