Very little breeze for our first cruise which was just fine with us. The only problem was the main refused to go to the top of the mast, a halyard issue of some sort. So in 5 odd knots of breeze we had a big reef in the main---how embarrassing !
I got lots of practice gybing the kite by myself which was very good, we were using our #3 kite so it was very manageable getting it up and down and gybing it.
Donna doing the photos while I actually still needed to sail, who'd have thought ?
We beat the rain home but got very wet at the dock.
Mud Island, which is not the prettiest island but it is the closest to our home club.
In 5 knots it's about 3 hours from our club.
Pleasant but unexciting sail home, good time to try those solo kite gybes.
