We had a fun time spending the afternoon cruising down to the Bridge and back. Jeff B and Adam Crane joined in on the fun.
Lots of other boats had the same idea and we 'raced' them as we tacked our way back to Harbor Island. I found out that when a boat crosses between you and the wind (even momentarily on an opposite course) your apparent wind disappears for a few seconds- kind of like passing a semi truck on the highway.

Of note, the jib went the 'wrong' way (around the front of the headstay) twice on gybes.... so we gybed back to reset it. I will have to figure out the best technique to prevent this in the future.
