Step 3, Day 3 - Let's do some sailing already!

Sue and I woke up at about 700 am and I decided to go for a swim in No Name Harbour.  It was a little cold at first, but I fixed that with a lap around the boat. It is a really nice State Park and would be happy to return here! Once everyone was up and moving, we pulled the hook and moved over to the face dock while there was an opening.  Captain Keith made us a breakfast of Pancakes and Sausage.  We gathered up the track on the boat and deposited that while we had the opportunity.   We then took the first our our tests, the written exam for ASA 101.  I aced it at 100%!  We left No Name Harbour around 10:00 and returned to Biscayne Bay were we headed mostly North, tacking back and forth until about 12:30p when we hove to so that we could have lunch. After lunch we all took turns practicing all the points of sail.  For those of you that don't know, that would be: Port Tack, Close Hauled (heading up as close to the wind as possible)...
