Got the team together, along with our trainer, so we could get the brand new spin bag sorted and practice our inside jibes.  Had 11-12 knots of great wind from the South, so took off shortly after gathering at 5 and motored to the bottom of Round Bay and then had a great spin run down, with half a dozen jibes, and then came around and did it all again, with the spin being packed perfectly so we could fly it a second time round, this time with the genoa up.  Worked great, as did the dowse at the end, with the genoa already up.  Great progress on a beautiful night on the water.  Even if it was 85 degrees when we left the dock.
