Had a good days sailing today . My crew was Jo-Anna who had only started sailing last season . There was a good breeze in the first race , we were both on deck and we concentrated on our upwind sailing . The boat seemed to be going well and we held our own against more experienced opposition . The GP has a large foresail and Jo-Anna has struggled uncleating the sail ready for a tack . It is more technique than strength so we practiced this and we managed some great tacks . In the 2nd race the wind got up considerably , we were subjected to a 10 minute squall with heavy rain . I was expecting Jo-Anna to want to retire , but no chance . WELL DONE Jo-Anna !!
