Let's do it again. Second Sail.

Well, we loved it so much I invited another friend down.  This time, someone I learned how to dinghy sail with. Here is some GPS footage of the sailing.  The pic below only shows the route but I have all the stats such as top speed, average speed, etc.  Very cool.

Top speed 5.4 knots

Things I learned this time out:

1) Docking is a nightmare.  Had to paddle in again.  I need to get better at this.

2) The jib gets tangled in the forestay.  This is a problem since I can't unfurl it but most likely due to me having too much slack in the jib and forestay.  Dave V from C&Lsuggested something which I'll try this week and report back
