Was back sailing on Thursday

[Doug SC]

This time Clint from the sailing club wanted to sail the Navigator with me. The winds looked to be good in the 7mph range for most of the day after much higher winds in the morning. I did another practice with reefing after rigging the boat and left it in to shake out on the water. I'll keep practicing until I don't have to think about the sequence so much. It was a pleasantly cold and mostly sunny almost winter's day. I know it may not feel like it, but it is still just over a week before winter is official. It's a pleasure to also sail with another sailor who understands how to lend a useful hand. Clint took several photos I am posting.

What a nice day to be sailing.

Yes, I know you sharp eyed sea gulls noticed the mizzen halyard isn't all the way up. You will be informed now that we caught the mistake and corrected that oversight. Felt a bit foolish about it too.
