Drinking the Kool Aid - Day 2

After the excitement of Day 1, I was anxious to get out for Day 2. As I beat all of my fellow students, it wasn't that hard since I work in the houseboat, I took advantage of Andrew's time and took another turn at the motor. Success!

We rigged up quickly and headed out to make the most of our 3 hours on the water. I've been surprised at how quickly it flashes by out there.

Here are some shots that I managed to take while out there.

We rotated positions on the boat, working through points of sail, tacking and gybing. I narrowly avoided having to buy Andrew lunch, phew.

On the way back to dock we did the Raven. Andrew told me he would fail me if I posted it on the internet, oh well!



Today will be devoted to learning crew over board, perfecting points of sail and, I'm going to guess with the wind, reefing.
