I am sorry to say that my solo sailing lesson/trip could have ended badly. Between the wind gusts and the variable waves, we ended up capsizing! The captain struggled to get the Hobie Cat righted and then had to sail away from me for a bit to be able to turn around to come back and get me. Then it was very difficult for him to pull me back on board. I did not panic but was quite shaken as there was no way for us to get help and I can’t imagine if one of us had been knocked unconscious. It was unfortunate because the sailing itself was delightful.
