crosswind from starboard as we were heading Northeast. Tide was moderate. No random gusts. we saw dolphins on the way as they swam with us.

tailwind and tide in my direction. Max speed 7.4 knots

Winds were a direct headwind and strong from the storm. Maybe 15+ knots. sucks because the marina entrance was direct of the headwind. had to push engine to higher rpms to beat the wind pushing the side of the ship. ripped the job during an attempt at a jibe without a winch handle.

Boated by motor. Anchored near the private beach. no wind. other yachts came later. we took a dingy to say hi with drinks but no one really cool so far 😂 battery 2 is still dead so tested the jump start powerbank kit. worked. need to replace the battery. battery 1 and 2 are reversed I think.

there was no wind almost the entire time until the very end when we tried to return back into the marina. the engine was blowing smoke and soot into the air as well as the cabin. so instead of going westward we turned around and returned back to the marina. we actually had to emergency dock bow side even though the marina states that you have to berth from the rear. Vitaly actually turned the entire boat around manually with the mooring line.
