Gentle day sail

16 nautical miles

Watching the forecast we were not at all sure what the day would bring - gentle winds or none at all. If none at all then we would motor round to the anchoring area, swim and make the dodger template and do a few other jobs on the boat. As it was we had gentle wind of a steady 8-12 knots and we had a really nice sail out towards Cape Pila and back.

Ont thing that is puzzling is the reversing. Every time I reverse King Malu she swings clockwise. This time we found we had the boarding ladder down which was creating a drag and so that swung us round.

We put up the repaired genoa from the rips last weekend. Amongst other things we had tightened the leech rope and that meant the sail set better. Interesting these little things we are learning as we go.
