Windmill Point - NOT. SPI practise

Getting ready for the Strathcona Cup Race on Saturday, Patrick, Cedric, Sylvie and I took off with the intention to shake out the spinnaker for Saturday's big race

Winds were very light.  We sailed west of the fleet to start the spinnaker back but the wind changed 180 so we could have sailed the spinnaker out of the channel.

Put her up a couple of times.  Tried dip pole gybe and end-to-end gybe.  End to End worked easily.

Came back tot he club and had supper.

Lori took this as we were returning to harbour.
