Fun weekend with the Potters. I was planning on sailing Friday and Saturday. Rain on Friday morning put that day off. I went for dinner with the group at the Mission Bay Yacht club. Saturday was sun and wind. Picked up to about 9 knots with gusts over 15.
I had a fun incident as I sailed up to the dock and the club, the wind blew me off the dock and I tried to jump. Well, I should have stayed on the boat! I fell in the water. I could not pull my self over the side. So, I slid around to the stern and used the rudder step to climb onto the boat. The rudder step worked well, but not really the way I wanted to find this out. The wind continued to push the boat out and it was good I chose to stay with the boat, rather than holding onto the dock. I sailed out a little then came back in. A person saw me go in and came down to help. He held the bow for me this time so no more drama. I was soaked up to my chest. Ken, from International marine came out with me for a while. Nice for him to see the boats performance as I am trying to get him to build the boats out here.
Nice sail today.
