Good South wind, from 8-12, gave me a chance to remember how everything works! Took 30 minutes to put the jib on the roller furler, which is never easy, and always requires adjusting and re-adjusting. Got it roughly right and then took Fiona out around 3 for 2.5 hours on Round Bay in the Severn River, during which RaceQs says I covered 9.2 nautical miles. Worked upwind to various race marks and then went wing/wing downwind. Some weather rolled by and began to look threatening, but got home before it looked like it was about to hit. And it never did rain!
Worked to get strady 5 mph upwind and 5-6 downwind.
