Took Sandy out after the squall passed over us to give him some time to just motor around and do whatever he wanted as a refresher before his checkout on Monday. He did an awesome pivot turn inside the abandoned finger piers next door, plus a few perfect dockings on the T-head and back in the slip. He's beyond ready to check out and will be a fantastic skipper and coach for other new cruisers.

Miserably low wind, with a few bits of slight respite when we were able to do a quick stop and a couple docking practices of each type. Andrew is all set and I'm sure will breeze through his checkout whenever he gets it scheduled.

Another glorious Wednesday night on Tangent at MYC. Lots of new people crewing so we had some complications with rigging and so on but still did great and had a ton of fun. Weather held and we didn't get hit with a storm, but did have nice wind the whole time. A+

What a horrendous awful misery of a start. We sat at R2 for a couple of sad hours, and then beat to St Mary's in a wide range of wind conditions, none of which were good for Huzzah, for about 25 hours. I'm sure that has to be a record. We finished during the awards ceremony I think. Bleh. Anyway, had a fun raft up with Basta once we got there and then the return on Sunday was WAY more fun tbh. Glad to have done it, and at least one way was awesome. lol
(by awesome, of course I mean, failing to dodge the myriad lines of storm cells and getting almost knocked down by a 40kt "pink radar donut" sitting over us for several minutes...it was great haha.)

Suuuuuuuper low wind day, but it did eventually pick up enough to get some decent light sailing in. Went back and forth a bit, ended the day over by bloody point and then sailed back in.

Really fun night! Trimmed jib and spin and we were flying. Note: Jib cars need to be at the front of the portlight for best pointing. Finished about 6minures before next boats but idk if it was enough to stay in first.

Sailed around and got everyone up to speed on the code 0, etc. Met up with Josh on OrgaZmatron and got some fun shots as he was heading home too!

Lower wind than expected (5-8 SW), AND we got smacked down by a big barge turning in near our penultimate mark. Still first over the finish line, but a major bummer with corrected time.

Got a practice day out with some new people including James and Hunter to prep for Gov Cup. Was going well until a bad jibe the wrapped the spinnaker hard and made a bubble up at the top, could not unwind without massive flogging. Took ages to undo and by the time we got it, there was a major tear across the whole top half. :-( Super sad and frustrating, but I guess another learning experience. Jibe SLOW people, thoroughly explain the entire process and assign people specific jobs that are easy to communicate instructions for during the process. We won't have a spinnaker for a good while I think, certainly not for gov cup.
