Another weekend of messing around on boats - teaching.

I spent Saturday and Sunday having fun with my ASA Coastal Cruising students: Liz, Conrad and Dan.  I caught them here looking intense, as if a regatta trophy was at stake.   

In truth I did have them working - tacking, jibing, trimming sails, anchoring, reefing, man-overboard execises.  I made them eat lunch on the boat while hove to, which really is easy, comfortable and safe.  After lunch on Sunday I had them sail me around on Tampa Bay in the glorious sailing conditions we then had.  That got everyone relaxed and happy.
