It was sooooo awesome!!! We put up the sails just after leaving White Hall bay with a reef and then turned off the engine and were sailing! We sailed all the way down passed Thomas Point Light House by like a mile!  We got there faster this time under sail than we did last weekend with the engine. We did several skills. We reefed the main and then shook it out when the wind laid down, we handled the boat in a 20kn gust, did a man overboard drill under sail (without the engine) to retrieve some balloon trash out of the Bay (thus saving a turtle) and I jibbed, twice and it was good and controlled.  We went down the Severn passed the Annapolis Sailing School. We saw the Rainbows get ready for their first race. We turned around when we were just off the Naval Academy sea wall. We sailed BACK passed the Rainbow race. Steve saw light under the bow of purple boat as it took a wake. We felt so comfortable. Bay Dreamer sails great!!! She is so well balanced!  
We did a good job docking all by ourselves- there wasn’t even anyone to throw lines to this time. 
We learn a little more about the boat each time.  We even hit 8.0 knots for the first time!
