November Sunday Sail

Has been a sunny week, with a large high pressure to our west keeping the skies clear and the wind out of the north at 10 to 15kn, I have been very keen to get out, but Saturday afternoon was spent successfully getting the water pump rebuilt and installed - which I was very pleased with the work and outcome. Another system that I am now very familiar with.

Sunday there was not much wind in the morning so we did chores and went out around 1330 to a nice breeze out of the NE and going E. We broad reached North and had a quinoa salad for lunch, then had a great close hauled sail back to the outer distance mark (K). It was good sailing in the relatively flat water, fully powered with the #1, probably 8 - 9 knots.


The instruments were working as were the other jobs I had been working on! But the speedo only seems to work at high speeds. We sailed back up the harbor as we put the boat away and were back at the dock and buttoned up by 1700.
