Sailed with Mike. Was hoping for some 10 knot wind changes, 13 to 23. Winds were more like 9 to 14 for most of sail. Ran under jib and reefed main sail. Had a good time. Waves were running at a nice 4 second period. Again today I cound not point as high as i would have liked. Still neede to determine way. After multiple tacks to wind ward. A dark cloud rolled in, a wind and gust increased to the predicted levels. We turned and ran with the waves back to bay. On this heading GPS had boat speed in the high 7 mph range. Boat was surfing down the waves. Did not reduce the sails, at time boat wanted to turn up even form a run. Keep jib hid behind main. If we had a lot longer down wind run to make, under these conditions, or worst, I would have taken time to dropped the main. All in all it was a fun afternoon of sailing.

Hoping for a gusty day to do some sail trim train
