Seventeen tacks around Three Sisters Island
Conditions: E 10 knots easing to 7, gusts to 19
We sailed clockwise around Three Sisters Island from Holiday Marina on the Catalina 270 Christina. The beat behind the island took 17 tacks. Then we sailed downwind on a single tack all the way back to the marina.
The island blocked some of the east wind but still left enough to sail. Going upwind there took patience and a lot of tacks.
Top speed was 6.2 knots.
