3knots to start the day and ended with 8 knots. Overcast day. A squall came in dropping.5” of rain for about 30 min. Wind burst from 17-21knots. I did not reef the sail. And I should have taken the sail down sooner.

Winds were 5-8knots, with some dead times. Crew was Ryan Stephanie and Richard. Nice bright and sunny day. We finally made it to Margarita Ville. We found a slip to dock so we could use the restroom. Matt was the dock master. The cabin was small The boom sat low in dock, but once the mainsail was hoisted, it was comfortable for me to ride in; with no worries about hitting my head.

Matt was the dock master Sailed solo on the Hot Dog It doesn’t have a roller furling. Used the 100% jib Jib sheets kept coming out of cleats; Matt told later that this boat hasn’t gotten a 1” spacer under the cleat yet. The dock crew had been going around and upgrading all of the other Capri 22’s Wind was mostly steady, a few dry spells Around 4-8knots with gusts to 12 Motored back to dock at the end. I need to work on sailing up wind. I did several jibes as I was sailing down wind. There was a jet ski that caught on fire at another dock near the sailing school

Wind picked up and we didn’t have to motor sail as much Went out into the lake proper Dawn showed us how to solo sail, heave too, rules of the road, etc She reviewed vocab and test questions with us

Poor wind to no wind 2nd day of 101 keel boat class Dawn instructed Practiced man overboard, knots, point of sail, maneuvering around no wake buoys, docking
