Sailing Bootcamp - Blue Water Sailing Ft Lauderdale, FL

Day 1: Let the fun begin! ASA 101, 103, 104 and 114 on SV About Time (36ft Fortuna) with Daryl at Blue Water Sailing in Ft Lauderdale, FL.

Day 2: Best conditions to learn how to sail. Thunderstorms, rain and wind gusts. Learned how to repair the traveler after a pin snapped.

Day 3-4: Tacking, jibbing, heave to, docking, man overboard rescue, knots, anchoring, coastal navigation - check. 3 more days to go.

Day 5-6: One more day of sailing! Tonight we're treating ourselves to a slip at a marina. Our catamaran does not have a generator so we're grateful to have a/c tonight and no mosquitos.

Day 7: Put a fork in us as we are DONE! Survived sailing boot camp... lots of blood, sweat, tears and mosquitoes this week. We passed the exams and drills for ASA 101, 103, 104, and 114.

Not a lot of time for photos as we were working the boat.
