Fantastic day sailing with Connor wind was not too bad force 3/4 we sailed out to the wind farm. Only snag when got back was we lost the main halyard half way up the mast so need to sort that tomorrow

8 knots of wind Pleasant trip Connor got his drone out and practiced a bit I am pleased we managed to get up to 4 knots with hardly any wind I am now starting to get a great feel for the boat.

Very calm force 3 Motor sailed Practiced reef both 1st and 2nd reef

Great sail force 4 gusting 5 it was 5 most of the time. Lou was brilliant crew and morning up a dream. Sail out was great 5 - 6 knots coming back was tough once into close to shore had to use engine.

Great afternoon Sailing wind got up to about 15 kn keeled over nicely Lou did some helming which was great and just after we got into the harbour entrance or the Marina entrance Lou Helmed all the way to our birth and then I took over it was a great afternoon

Condition started nice just forced three and then by the time we got to Brighton Marina it was blowing force six so it was like a washing machine trying to get into Brighton Marina, which isn’t particularly fun. Got a bit nervous around rottingdean because it was all over the place one thing I forgot to do was I should’ve reffed the main sale earlier so what I did was Just release the main sale a bit so it took the wind out of it and that was actually okay then got back into Brighton Marina reefed and ready for the next sale down on Tuesday night to get a wash

Lovely day trip calm weather very sunny got a little windy early afternoon

Conditions calm

Lovely relaxing trip we had to motor though due to no wind.
