Motored out and raised sail directly across Spa Creek. Headed out to configuration and operation of all lines in preparation for the 2019 Annapolis NOOD.
Received some coaching from TC regarding sailing upwind in breeze:

"Head up till the boat flattens out, then fall off till she starts to heel over a lot."
"Find the groove where she's heeled a bit and moving fast."
"Balance the helm so she will stay in the groove on her on".
