Not much done except charge batteries. Everyting looks good.
After the snow, I wanted to make all was OK on the boat and charge the batteries. All was OK, but no need to charge as batteries were good.
Nice Wednesday evening race. 19 boats participating. Firth of Tay finished 4th out of 7.
Joined in on the HHSA Practice Race. Over the start line early, over the finish line last. Is there a connection?
Again, forecast was winds around 5 kts. Started that way, then built to 15+ kts. When I heard of thunderstorms drifting through the area I decided time to get back to the marina. Still, a nice long morning sail.
Finished cleaning the boat yesterday, payoff was sailing today. Great day! Winds were forecast about 5 kts, but turned out to be 8 to 12 kts. Shifted a lot, but steady.
Motored out to find zero wind. Zero. Anchored for lunch. Stayed anchored as still zero wind. Motored back in. With zero wind.
Out sailing expecting the forecast 5 to 10 kts. Well, that was so for about an hour. Then 15 to 20 kts. With fluctuations. Doubled reefed, then shake out the reefs. Then have to double reef again. Turned back and sailed for a long time on a beam reach with 16 to 18 kts with boat speed of 7 to 7.5 kts. That was fun.
Out sailing for a couple of hours. Used the autopilot autotune function to get the system working correctly.
