Steady light breeze, calm sea, sunny day. A good day for single handed sailing.

Light winds, mostly sunny. In flow winds mostly.

Calm seas, warm and light breeze.

Hot and calm. Mostly motoring up and back. Tried the jib on its own for awhile. Dropped the hook in Bedwell Bay for lunch for single handed practice. Tight quarters with several others already there. Docking on the return went well enough.

Light wind, Sunny skies. Calm seas.

Predictwind said it was going to up go 26 kt winds, but we went out anyway. It was such gorgeous sunny day. When we arrived on the Inlet it was almost flat calm. Do we motored out to Spanish Banks. The wind picked up by the time we had the sails up. Then the gusts started throwing us around and the sea state changed to 4-5 ft whitecaps. We put two reefs in the main, but finally brought it down and started motoring back. All the way back the whitecaps were building. So, it was a workout!

Beautiful warm sunny day. Winds between 6-10 kts all day. Sea state was mostly 2ft swells with some chop. Mostly westerly winds. Today was s single handed day. I got to go over all of my safety plans and equipment, practice docking and sailing procedures.

Got off to a good start with 6-8 kts of NW winds. Glorious sunny day. Long tacks across Burrard with one long tack to the north end of Passage Island. The with the wind on our starboard rear quarter and the tide in our favour we hit 6.-6.5kts on a single tack to Stanley Park.

Overcast in the morning with large swells and two foot chop at times. Light air to begin with, but around 11am the wind picked up and we had a great tack from Spanish Banks all the way around Passage Island and part of the way back before the wind died.

Light, but steady winds and calm seas made for a relaxing day. Mostly 3 kts, but sometimes up to 5 kts.
