Type of watercraft:

Went out on Akimbo with Steve, Rob & Jeannie. It was rainy but decent wind (mostly until it really died down) so we got to try out our rain gear and each do a POB. None of us really got it right. I think we are turning towards the mark way too early because we each struggled to be on a close reach heading towards it (vs beam or even broad) and even when blowing the main at that point the speed was obviously too high. At least I have a better idea of how I want to try to manage my turn next time. 
 

Oh and I remembered to get a pic of my reverse docking job on Akimbo from Sunday before we set out. :-)
