At the back, steering

Today was my first paddle as a steerperson.

The weather and marine reports indicated winds at 10-15 knots and basically a calm and normal day, I had taken my steering clinic a few weeks back and I was ready for a nice calm paddle down to Granthams landing.

It was, and then, it wasn't.

The return journey was difficult, winds picked up to probably 25-30 knots, we were in an OC4 and the wind was in our faces, plus the tide was coming in, so the boat was a handful, it was, surprisingly, a lot of fun.

So, there you go, just a journal entry of the first time.
