Back on Sigrid. Light wind, and low swell, typical summer sailing in Kona. Saw a couple Hawaiian monk seals before leaving the harbor, then some spinning dolphins on the way back in. Always good to get out on the water.

Went on a fishing charter instead of my weekly day sail. One bite, but no fish… still a good day on the water.

Took out Sigrid, the Ericson 23. 6-10 knots of wind, only 1’ swell. Easy, pleasant day, but it was hot… summer time in Kona.

Sailing on Sigrid. 4-6 knots of wind, 2-3’ swell. Tried out a new $40 lure, got a big strike, and broke the line… lost it all. Oh well, that’s fishing. It was a great sail anyway.

Sailing on Sigrid. 6-8 knots of wind 2’ swell. A good fun day.

Double handed on Sigrid, an Erickson 23. Light winds and swell. Had a line out, but caught nothing. Good sail anyway.

Double handed on Sigrid the Erickson 23. 10-15 knot wind, 3’ swell. Tried trolling, but caught nothing, the sailing was great though.

We took the kiddos out for a sail on the Cal 20. First sail for both of them, and they had a great time. 6-8 knot wind, and 2’ swell. The squiggly line on the tracker is when we let the kids steer, lol.

A good day sail on Sigrid, an Erickson 23. Only 6-8 knots of wind, and 2’-3’ swell, but she moves pretty well in light winds. Champagne sailing as they say.

Double handed on Sigrid, the Erickson 23. Light wind, only 4-6 knots, but with a 4’-6’ swell. On the return trip, we were fighting a current, so after 30 minutes of little progress, we decided to motor sail back. Also had a fishing line out, but didn’t catch anything. Not the greatest day sailing, but it’s still good to be out on the water.

We had a beginner with us today, he did quite well. 8-10 knot wind with only 1’-2’ swell. A great day for a sail…(of course I always say that).

Double handed on Sigrid, an Erickson 23. Light winds around 6-8 knots. 2’ swell. A super calm day, but still a good time. Got rained on as we were putting the boat away, but all in all, a good sail.

Had a hell of a time getting around the point, beating into a 10-15 knot wind, with a current against us. Great learning experience, and confidence builder. All in all, a good sail.

Short cruise up the coast, on Sigrid, an Erickson 23, anchored at the beach with a couple other boats. 8-12 knot wind. A nice downwind sail.

Took out a newbie on the Cal 20. 6-10 knot wind . Great day for a sail until the wind died completely.

Double handed on Sigrid, an Ericson 23. Beautiful day for a sail. 8 knots wind, 2’ swell. We won both races!

Double handing the Cal 20. The spinner dolphins were quite active while motoring out. We had a pretty consistent 10 knots of wind, with 2’ swell for most of the day, but it died down to almost nothing in the last 20 minutes. Great sail.

Double handing the Cal 20. 10-12 knots of wind, 3-4’ swell. A little choppy, but all in all, a fun day.

Cal 20 spinnaker lesson. First time flying a spinnaker. 6 knot wind, 2’ swell. All went well, had a great day.

I got some trophies for last year’s race season.
