Gustavo Reis Do Espirito Santo

No sailable wind. All the way under the engine. Calm water, no wind. Only i was on board. Got out of the berth pretty smoothly. Arriving on the marina, i entered the berth with the astern, but halfway in the harbor master asked to put the bow in the front, so I did the maneuver without problems. Smooth, slow, chill.

We took our way back under good winds of 12 till 17 knts. We navigated all the way back almost in close-hauled and close reach. Good water conditions, not so much waiving. The lock was not busy in the way back, just 2 boats. We basically didn’t moored the boat, the wind where not a problem so we just stay chill. We kept a ok speed, i was teaching one of the members on board, so we took a bit more time, a few maneuvers, but all under control.

We started the trip coming into the Locks. No problems, 13 knts of wind inside. After we start sailing only with the genoa and main sail, 14 knts of back wind, pretty chill. The wind suddenly died completely, we got 0knts of wind. Then we motored the half way till the island. The mooring at the marina was good, the wind pushed us to the pantheon.

Leave the marina under 20knts of wind; 3 persons on board; Long side mooring; Avg 25 knots of wind; Navigating only with genoa, mostly downwind. Docking in a birth under 18knts of wind; Docking in reverse, one of the members on board is a 83 years old woman, that way is easier for her to leave.

No sun, windy. 30knts of wind, a lot of waves. Problem with the main sail. Need to make a miracle to close it and use the motor to finish the crossing. Bad conditions, pretty wind. Out of dock alone, 27knts of wind. No problem woth it.

A bit rough conditions for a JetSki, 2 meters wave, no wind (luckily). Course for Personal Water Craft.
