training

7/2/2006: CO and I went out again, the wind was about 10 mph out of the SE. We practiced 2 man overboard drills. The first had a small explosion in it, but the second one was fast and smooth. A storm was rolling in so we tried to go south around it. CO opened the jib for the first time, but the wind picked up and I needed to tack in order to miss land. So we just turned into the wind, dropped anchor, rolled up the jib, dropped the main and practiced making a little shelter using the boom to ride out the storm. I thought it was real cozy, but cozy was not what CO was thinking. It started lightning and we went in. This all happened in about 1 hour. CO did work the main sheet some, while I worked the tiller, she did good.
