Well its queens birthday weekend and We ( myself and William decided that a nice sail was the thing to do.
The forecast was for 10 to 15 knots so I thought that a quick reef in the sail was the way to go.
However when we arrived at Hastings the wind was zero and the fog was so thick we could only see 1 pole at a time on the way out of the channel.
We got out side to find about 5 knots from the north so we took a short sail down the harbour as far as Sandy Point and the turned around to run back with the tide.
High tide was at 11.30 and it was a monster 3.05 mtrs.
Sailed around and did a bit of fishing and then ran in at 3.30
Cleaned up the boat and then managed to lock the keys in the car. Well had to make the embarasing phone call to ji and li to drive the 50 mins with the spare set
had a cup of coffee at the shop and never again the prices are so high.
While we waited I moved the Genny up the furler about another 10 or so inches so we hopefully can see better under the sail.
All in all a good day.
