Yesterday in Marina del Rey was windy...to the tune of about 5-10 knots or more....and there was heavy surf 3-8 feet or so, moderate swells and a small craft advisory for the evening.
I have only sailed once on my Ericsson 27 since I bought her about a month or so ago.
So, I took a friend, an experienced TRANSPAC sailor and my daughter and we headed out the channel.
What a fantastic experience. There was enough wind and waves once we left the marina to make for an absolutely exciting day of sailing up and down between Venice and San Pedro.
Our little 27-footer was tossed quite a bit whenever we slowed, as you can imagine from a smaller craft, but this was the reason I bought my boat and why I want to learn to sail.
It helped to have an experienced "hand" on board to provide for an educational experience.
I love this sport!
