Helped out Steve at port Covington on crazy love for a work event that he needed a first mate for. It was really fun, and I finally got to see what some of the old DSC feet was and how they are set up over there. I wouldn't like to maneuver in their dock area but the way they don't step off with the initial line is clever.
Then we ran back to DSC for the full moon sail and Santosh let me skipper akimbo and it was so stressful! Everything went ok, but keeping an eye on everything in the dark is something else. There are just too many buoys and instructions that are either junky or have very long periods between flashes. Ugh. It feels a lot harder to gauge distance and perspective to plan tacks and even dock too, have docked twice in the dark now and both were fine but I don't like it. Santhosh was super encouraging though and gave me great advice to remember when stressed. "It's just a boat." lol (I'm going to use that one!)
