It's Easter 2009 and I've arrived in Jersey City after a quick visit in Atlanta, GA. I'm here visiting my father and also to do my Competent Crew sailing course, so long awaited. I was very lucky as there were only 2 of us on the course, due to the fact that it's so early in the season. Me and a medical doctor from Texas. 3 Lovely days out on the Hudson sailing around and learning the basics. The weather was fantastic (thought the middle day had a bit of rain). Our instructor even made us sail past where captain Sully landed the aeorplane in the Hudson. What a fantastic time.

I'm proud to say that I've completed step 1 - "Competent Crew" sailing course, top of the class (granted there were only two of us). It was tremendous fun and I learnt a lot. Fantastic female instructor (nice to see the ladies making a serious entrance in the sailing environment at a more grass routes level). Thanks to Colgate Offshore Sailing School at Liberty Landing!

Now it's back to London for the next steps in my sailing plan.

"Auto ascending setup is an interesting idea, though it takes a bit of fiddling around to get it right. Once it's dialed in, it actually works quite well."

"Michael, From experience over three keel boats a fully battened main is almost a requirement. Not only will it make dropping the sail into the boom bag far easier it certainly reduces any flogging and vastly lengthens the life of the sail. While…"
