We had a very nice sail back to Boothbay harbor. We hoisted our screecher for the first time
since ‘the incident’, and tried out a new furling technique which worked well,
albeit in only 12 knot winds. By
motoring dead downwind and letting the sheets fly, the pressure of the wind on
the sail is reduced. This relies, of
course, on having sea room to motor downwind, but it may well be useful next
time we find ourselves furling the screecher in high winds.
We picked up a DEYC mooring and started cleaning the boat up
in preparation for our guests Marc and Dee who arrive tomorrow.
