well first day is in the bag. I was surprised we went out, wind spd was 20 mph. one of our students had trouble staying in control, even though the boat won't flip he sure found out how far over it would go.
Have to admit high wind seems fun for sailing. was very enjoyable day.

That's what I like to hear.

I'm really looking forward to getting out on the water again.
I just wish Lake Travis were up about 10-15 ft more so we won't have to worry as much about the shallow spots.

well the final day went off without a hitch. our one student tried to flip us again. LOL wind speed was right at 20 with a lot of 30 mph gusts.

I am certified or certifiable this stuff is very fun. definitely planning on spending my weekends on the water.

next step is a 3 hour solo. then I'm ready to rent boats and take passengers.

the rest of the classes have to be taken on the coast.

When the lake got down so low last summer, we didn't even bother trying to sail (too many sandbars), we just motored out when we wanted to.

Cat 22 is a fantastic little boat. I'd love to get one someday
