Bahamas - Ragged Islands, Little Ragged Island, Hobie Sailing,

A couple of days ago we had a light wind day. We put the Hobie into the water. Here Mike is helping Nicholas step the mast and rig it. Both Jenny and Mike went with Nicholas for a sailing lesson


Mike getting sailing lessons.
Mike did well, and sailed solo for quite a long time, reaching up and down behind the 4 yachts here in our anchorage

Today is heavy winds, and Mike has gone out to sail by himself. About 20 mins later he flipped over



Nicholas went to right the Hobie, and Mike continued sailing, but about 5 mins later Mike had flipped over again. Nicholas went out again on the dinghy, and had Mike climb into the dinghy and then Nicholas jumped into the water with the Hobie and gave Mike a lesson on how to right a Hobie

I think Mike had had enough after two flips, and he returned to Meshugga. Nicholas went for a little sail, this is Nicholas coming into Meshugga
