Shu had been sailing with me.
This was when we sailed together for the first time last week. Shu was the crew while I was at the helm. I was trying to figure out what went wrong when we were reaching and running. I keep messing up. Also, I wasn't aware that Shu's never been on crew before so I was having a hard time figuring out what I was doing and not realising that I should also be giving commands about the jib sail and center board.
We sailed again yesterday.
This was us setting up the boat. Safiyya is part of the crew since she's always with us when I used to go sailing in the mornings.
There was a race later that day. The Laser and Optimists were getting ready. We just sailed outside their circuit so we don't interrupt the race.
I think we did much better this time around. I still need to work on the reaching and running but I think, after the first debriefing the other day, we did so much better.
Coach said Shu needs to be at helm control the next time we sail...... Probably next week. He just needs to understand both positions better but honestly, I think we can gauge who will be doing what if we ever make it to the race day......
