Practice MOB Heave to

Left the Scituate harbor after breakfast and raised our spinnacker as we head NNW. Lowered the spinnacker we as started heading back west. The wind direction was in our favor and we didn't need to tack or jibe throughout the entire time (except when we hove-to). Top speed near 7.2 kt. Also noticed a sunfish fin on the way.

Day 2 of ASA 104 3-day trip. Started the morning with anchoring practice and dinghy training at Peddocks, and left for Scituate after lunch. Wind direction was not in our favor on the eastbound leg of the trip, and we had to tack more that we wanted and constantly cheat to head up as much as possible. Steve spotted a pilot whale after we pass the Boston Light. Moored in Scuituate harbor for the night and had dinner on land.

Day 3 of ASA104. First day of our 3-day trip to Scuituate. Steady wind around 8-10 kt in the harbor until the airport bridge, and gradual decrease down to 3 kts or so. Started motorsailing once we got to Spectacle. Practiced reefing on the leeward side of Peddocks, and moored at the Portuguese Bay. We rotated our roles ever 30 mins throughout the trip.

Second day of ASA104. went over the boat systems and practiced making tight turns, grabbing mooring balls, and using prop wash/walk. also saw a seal by the sailing center.
