  1. 🚢 Ahoy, sailors! #Iran wants your cash 💸 before you sail their Strait of Hormuz waters. It's like a toll booth, but with extra layers of #bureaucracy and more fine print than a novel 📜. Enjoy those "mandatory" fees while navigating the sea of #legalese and cookies 🍪!

  2. Do #sailors always use #nautical miles rather than kilometres? #NauticalMiles
    I ask because I was wondering how long it would take to sail from #Iona to #Ballycastle - apparently about 15 hours; maybe a two-day trip with a short rest at #Islay

  3. I had a fantastic sail adventure today. Took my friend, Nadene, out for her first Martin 16 sailing experience. She loved it & took a ton of photos. We had fab winds on the waters today & I got to do a lot of keeling 😀 Fun time, on the ocean, on a gorgeous day!

  4. It was really foggy out on the ocean today!
    Almost no winds until we reached mouth of the bay. I was happy to take Mom out for her very first sailing experience ☺️ She found it to be very relaxing. We saw some seals, mergansers, few American coots & a couple of buffleheads.
    Back at RVYC on August 22.

  5. I had a great first solo #sailing session this afternoon. Winds were tricky today. Winds changed directions 5 times in 2 hours. Lots of adjustments on my sails today.

    I got yacht club approval to take my Mom out as my passenger, for her very first sailing adventure, tomorrow morning! I'm pretty stoked about that. Mom has never been in any sailboat before! I'm not taking her very far because she gets scared of open ocean (while I love open ocean!). It will be very nice to take my Mom out for her first sailing experience 😊⛵️

  6. Saving some time by getting towed out to sailing practice course markers, by one of the #RVYC safety/coach #ZodiacBoats.

    I'll upload brief clip of sailing back to marina after practicing some demo race course navigation, soon. Had some nice winds during my first solo adaptive #sailing session today ⛵️😊
