Hobie Tandem Island Sailing - Rudder Failure and Lessons Learned

For the first real outing I took the Hobie Tandem Island to one of the salt water march rivers along the coast. Strong currents and headwinds caused numerous challenges, mainly a rudder failure that was difficult to fix on the water due to the current. I learned a lot while getting some good exercise.

I'm new to sailing in general. Real world application is definitely different than reading or watching videos.
