Tacking practice. Stable NW wind blowing 11 to 13 knots down the river. Headed out the area around G "5", turned back upwind for tacking practice. Focused on keeping the boat moving, not hjeeling more than 15 degrees by heading up till the boat stood up as needed, and nulling out weather helm by easing the traveler and when needed the sheet. Ignored the upwind jib telltales which were tending to flow toward the luff of the sail. Boat speeds of 4.0 to 4.5 knots upwind.
