Northerly 3, occasional 4 (and occasional lulls). Calm sea. Plenty of pace today when the wind was on. Hiked out, shoulders wet.

Smooth to slight sea, E veering S light to gentle breeze (2-3). Wind was at least mostly constant, all be it a bit shifty. Used the new Little Hawk Mk2 clipped to the mast - very helpful.

Frustrating 0-1 (occ 2) ESE with up to 1m swell. Finally virtually becalmed and struggled to drift in against the ebbing tide.

Light breeze F0-2 variable SE, smooth sea. Used the Bahia with main only. Wind was a little inconsistent and did get becalmed for a while at the yellow GY marker. Still not enough breeze to practice anything beyond keeping the boat moving. Fun to be out though and shorty wear suit was better than the full length yesterday.

Light offshore F2 (occasionally 3) variable SE. Smooth sea. Very light, easy drifting around in the sun. Fun to practice the basics in a solo monosail. Needed a tiller extension, but otherwise good.

Variable 3-4 occasional 5 in gusts Calm sea and good viz. Continued MOB and Coming alongside drills.

Shifty 3-4, occasional 5 in gusts. Call sea, good visibility. Occasional showers. MOB and coming alongside drills. 2 or 3 capsizes on Andy’s helm. I stature dry throughout.

Light and variable winds 0-2. Shifty and gusty. Calm sea and good viz. Sailing round a basic triangular course. Rib with instructor.

Left Helford mooring, sails up and did ‘picking up a mooring under sail. Sailed back to Falmouth. Spinning the boat in the marina. Refuelled Moved to Falmouth and did some quay work. Motored to St Mawes and am here waiting for dark. Recovered the anchor - snagged an unknown cable but freed it. Motored back in the dark. Nav challenge on the way back involving channel marker alignment and depth check. Back to berth and alongside in the dark.
