Sailing Practice, 5-9-2013

Just Bill Street and myself. Nice wind. Sailed almost to Lemon Island. It was a relaxed evening. One of those evenings that make sailing worth all the troubles.

No man overboard exercise.

There is a lesson every time we go out. This time it was Bill's turn to learn how to ease the jib sheet when it is on the winch. Place a hand around one side of the winch on the line. Take the end and let the sheet out with control. This way he was able to let the sheet out a inch. Sometimes that's all it takes to get the sail trimed properly.

I had another lesson in docking. Only had to take it twice. Bill was able to jump off the first time. But I ended up reversing and starting over. We finally got her docked, but it sure was not as good as the first time this season.

No tracks. Just relaxation.
