Day 3 we were blessed with beautiful weather. The day started out with a reefed main only, but we did raise the jib for part of our time out on the water.
Andrew really wanted to hammer in points of sail, so we spent more time working around the clock. Close Hauled, Close Reach, etc. all the way down through a gybe and then back into the wind, finishing with a tack.
At the end of the day we started working on our Man Over Board procedure. The BBC, as Andrew calls it, is one of those crucial skills we need to master to be approved to rent boats on our own. We successfully saved "Steve" once, and will be heading out there again to practice more today.
Later on, after class we had an evening renter that had issues with a motor. We switched him over to another boat and I quickly checked the motor. A double fist-pump was deserved, as a I started the motor on my own.
The weather is beautiful today. Can't wait to get out on the water!
