Dave from the U.K. and his lovely companion Christine from Canada showed up for an 8 day course a couple of days ago. I have been under the weather so am just now getting the energy to blog. Dave got in a bit late on the first day but did get some light wind sailing in on their first day and day 2 was a no wind day. Now day three which was today was cloudy over cast and we actually had a short squall so we got a chance to reef our main and by the time we got it reefed, including the extra time it took with the topping lift fiasco, the squall was over and we had to take out the reef point. Unfortunately Christina got a bit sea sick as well today so tomorrow she is going to eat a lighter breakfast, fruit plate & yogurt, and hopefully there will be no more of that. Wind Prediction for tomorrow is 18 to 24 knots so lets see if it holds.

HAHAHA! glad the sea sickness only lasted one day AND that I never wound up actually having nausea! after getting my “sea legs” on the fourth day, I could sit in the galley and read for a while 😉
