Good sail today. Pretty blowy as always. I saw some pilot whales, as per my twitter feed. It should have read ’30 yds’, as in 30 yards away. Gave me a bit of a shock I must say.
Everything sailing-wise went well, except the handle on my main sheet clutch broke off. It was a bit suspect, so not a total surprise. Should be easy to fix. Luckily I was tacking home at the time, so it didn’t affect me getting back.
Tacking in 25 knot winds was fun, but laid waste below-decks, where my stowage obviously left a lot to be desired. One particularly strong gust sent pretty much everything sideways, so I obviously need to put more thought into this. A cane honey jar leaked all over the food cupboard. It’s pretty tasty though…
Also filled up the diesel tank, which seems to be much smaller than advertised.
I’ve taken some more video clips. I didn’t have time to film the whales sadly, but hopefully I’ll see more. Off for my daily ice cream now. X
