First time sailing for my coworkers, AS captained ER and we raced to leave the bay and channel. ER saw dolphins, we sailed on and everyone got a turn on the tiller. Bumped a boat for the first time after we came in too hot on the first mooring attempt and got tangled in the lines, had no steerage but I think we made it out as best as could be with a light glance that left no marks and caused no concern amongst the crew.

10 kts pretty steady, calm seas in J Bay. Made it under the bridge. Steve helmed while L&L relaxed.

Beautiful 10 kts, carried out and back by the tide. Flew #1, L helmed and K helped with baby. Hove to and swam, perfect landing, great sunset sail.

Birthday sail for my love and family. Lots of time on the bow for crew made comfortable by tacking just once! Had a decent 8-12kts most of the time, just perfect with warm sun. No swimming due to an abundance of jellyfish :( Was able to grab lines and berth on just the second attempt this time.

Had a nice 8 kn day, beautiful sunset. Took our time and talked through everything. Somehow left a pair of gloves, a water bottle, and a radio behind!

First time sailing with kid(s) as the only sailor. J invited friend L and her dad R for their first ever sail. Everyone did great with the conservative sail plan, storm jib and reefed main. We hove to briefly, saw DDB and went over to say hi, each boat with a pair of kids. Kids lost their minds on the channel coming home, stressful lead up to landing. Snapper derby yielded almost nothing across the entire dock, labor day party another family favorite. Had to leave around 5 to relieve babysitter for E.

Reefed with #2, we were perfectly planned, had a great sail to the point with a quick dip while hove to. L did most sailing, A supplied the food.

Breezy on full sails meant our guest was scared. Luckily we had plenty of beam reach and downwind. No swim but got to roll in long high swell for a minute. L does most of the sailing.

Got started about 45 minutes later than planned, couldn't quite make it under the bridge, but we also lost wind so for the better. Anchor and swim, got both kids in the water. Kat joined. First time we anchored stern to wind as a result of a strong current. Anchor was a bit stuck, took a while to free from the smelly sludge. Hot dogs on the grill were great, should do that more often.
