Sailing on the Cal20. 8-10 knot wind, 4’ swell. Good sail, saw a few dolphins.

Double handing the Cal 20. 6-8 knots of wind, 3’-4’ swell. All went well.

8-12 knots of wind, with gusts to 15. 2’-4’ swell. A good sporty sail. All went well.

Double handed on Mahina Pua, a Cal-20. Only 2-4 knots of wind, and 2-4’ swell. Swell was coming at random angles, and the sails were luffing, and back winding on both sides. We decided to call it early, and motored back in. On a brighter note, we saw one whale about 100 yards from the boat, unfortunately I wasn’t fast enough to get a picture.

Took out some new sailors with my instructor today. 6-8 knot wind, 2’ swell. Lots of tack and gybe practice. All went well.

Double handed on Sigrid, an Erickson 23. 10-15 knots, with gusts to 20. 4-6’ swell. One reef in the main. All went well, it was a fun ride. Apparently I stopped the tracker before we got back to the harbor. This was the most extreme weather I’ve experienced as acting captain, not much for most of you, but Kona is usually champagne sailing. I welcome the challenge.

Took an out of town guest for our weekly sail, on the Cal20 Mahina Pua. 6-8 knot wind, 1-2’ swell. All went well… yet another great sail in Kona. It was a bit hazy today, due to the Kiluea eruption, but beautiful nonetheless the less.

Triple handed on a Cal 20. 6-8 knots of wind, 4’ swell. Great day for a sail.

Three of us on a Cal20. 8-10 knot wind, 1-2’ swell. Great day for a sail.

Double handing a Cal 20 out of Honokohau Harbor. 6-10 kt wind, 2’ swell. All went well. A beautiful day for a sail. Tried to get a panorama shot, lol, didn’t go so well.

Introduction to sailing, tacking practice. All went well.

All went well. Great day for a sail. 8-12 kt north wind, 2-3’ swell. Cal20.

10-15 knot wind, 2’ swell, double handed a Cal20. Great day for a sail!

8-10 knots of wind in the beginning, but died out on the way back. No wind, and a knot of current against us, we had to motor back. Still a fun sail.!

Double handing a Cal 20 for our weekly sail. 6-8 knot wind, no swell to speak of. Good day for a sail.

Teaching two ladies on a new to them boat for the wahine regatta tomorrow. A lot of tack and jibe practice, and engine practice… I hope they’re ready??? We were blocked in the harbor channel by a huge catamaran turning around. I think they would have hit him if I hadn’t taken over engine control. Super stressful, but I handled it well. They had a little trouble getting in and out of the slip, but didn’t hit anything, so that’s good, lol. On a brighter note, when we got out of the marina we were surrounded by spinner dolphins.
