On day 2 of our sailing lessons there were only three students on the boat - Kyle, myself and another guy named Adam who was there on his own. The weather was much better than the previous day with better winds and clearer skies.

Because of the good winds the three of us were able to do a lot more on the sailboat - Driving at the helm, tacking (moving sails from one side to the other to change direction with the wind) and emergency stopping when there isn't time to lower the head sail.

Our instructor, Katy, was fantastic - Amazingly knowledgeable, patient and very funny. We were sort of sad now that our lessons are over, but so glad for the experience!
