Headed out solo on a breezy day, 10-12 gusting 16.  Did some tacks and jibes, some pointing and playing the puffs, hove to a few times, reefed and shook out, just doing things to bring back that muscle memory.  Finished with 30 minutes of touch and goes with a breeze pushing me into the dock.  I swear this is the best sailing practice - not just the docking but also maneuvering in tight quarters. All this in just amazing late spring weather - are you kidding me?  Perfection.

 

I've got that exhausted smile that is the best proof of a good day out.
