A weekend of good wind has allowed a new class of sailing chainplates he enjoyed the intense sensations of wind sailing aboard the "chainplates One." Quite a refreshing balm for body and mind physically based, wind and salt.
The weather forecast announced on Friday a good south wind, raging little by little until Sunday, with a growing swell to 3 or 4 meters.
On Friday afternoon he was making contact with the ship, on a day overcast with about 15 knots wind, ideal for first touch data and concepts on the principles of sailing, drawing up late at night.
On Saturday we enjoyed a splendid day, with an average of about 20 knots of wind, which encouraged us to leave the river and allowed us to live a good feeling on board at sea, sailing with all the greater, staysail and genoa.
At noon we returned to the protection of the river looking for a quiet anchorage for lunch, after passing between a polygon mussel, making the move in full sail and after a nice but short break we weighed anchor to continue browsing. Slow but steady wind continued raging, which led to the rupture of an old genoa on a streak. The good news is that gave the crew time to respond to an unforeseen conditions not too comfortable.
The orange alert announced meteo swell for Sunday. With overcast skies and cool wind around 25 knots and gusts of 28 could not suppress the temptation to leave the river to look for something more exciting conditions, with a curl in the largest and staysail arrived at 12 knots.
Satisfied, at noon we returned to the port of Sada to eat, since one of the crew was to return to Barcelona. During lunch on board one of the crew entertained us with some card tricks or Tamariz very own Anton the Magician, while outside the wind was still raging, but the crew morale was high and went back out to sea to take advantage of recent boards.
The afternoon was closing again, with imminent showers not reached us yet to achieve full, leaving arriving back to port without getting wet and we could just do all the maneuvering ship berthing and arranchado before finally, by night, entered the announced head of showers. passed yet another good weekend of practice and safe sailing all blessed sleep like that night, tired but happy.
