Windy Day on North Sound!

What a glorious sunny and brisk day we had at the Bitter End today. We started our day with an informative lecture on GPS, where it started and where it is going! John Glynn was a great, guest lecturer.

Then we spent a long afternoon on North Sound in 25 knots with gusts to 35! Most of our beginner group learned that they can handle a boat in the heavy air, and some came face to face with some fears and figured out that they don't need to be scared by the wind.

We are missing JJ isler who is back in San Diego writing the second version of "Sailing for Dummies." Okay JJ, I had a few of the women who have their copies of the first "Sailing For Dummies" with them. They quoted from your Wind Velocity section that we were getting to the wind speed where we should be onshore. I reminded them that "Its always an adventure with Martha!" And what an adventure we are having! We all miss you JJ! - Martha Parker
