NauticEdRowed out, dropped the dinghy back at dock. Sun and clouds, but none is the forecasted wind for the first hour or so. Flying the #2, had to hunt for wind until the 20 kt gusts arrived and didn't leave. Thankfully Aaron was able to get a reef in despite no pre-rigging but it was chaotic and we actually did it twice.

Not too cold, fair amount of sunshine. Caught some gusts on the way back in. Had to row out to the boat and back. lost a pin on the gooseneck on our way back in (upwind tacks?) but Daniel and Andy kept us sailing.

First solo voyage. Blowing 15 kts on the mooring, flew the storm jib. Made it out of the channel on the same tack as launch while eating chips. Headed towards Coney Isle, heaved to and ate my lunch sandwich. lost a plastic bag and returned to rescue it. Turned around to head back but made little progress downwind against strong current and little help from headsail. Oddly, the flag on Manhattan Beach showed 15 kts, but I didn't get any of it until I returned to channel.

Gentle breeze to start, but favorable direction for navigating the channel on few tacks. Made the most of becalming half way in and made great time heading back with a steady 8kts of wind. Had full family + Anya & Joey. Somehow botched a balloon rescue mission.
